Broken

Broken 5/22/07

He’s quiet
Resistant
Impassionate
The works
She noticed and tried to change it
But for her
It always hurts
To each other it was good
While it lasted
It seems he really cared
It was hard not knowing everything
It seems she’s always scared
Of what the future brings

She knows it’s coming
She can’t fight it
It’s coming and he knows it
He can’t hide it

Forget about it
For now
They’re lost in love
She’s in a maze
It’s great to be there
Despite the worry
Despite his hand
She can’t get hold of

Up there
Still flies the dove
Wings strong
It’s what she’s thinking of

He holds the key in hand
It opens the door
That only he can
He waits longer
For one more chance
All’s stagnant for a while
He thinks without a glance
With him again
She will never dance

Off its path
It lands confused
Dizzy now
You have to choose
He’s there watching
He points and scoffs
The dove looks back
There’s no time
To take off
It’s too late
It’s hit
Its wing’s broken
Blood on the gravel
It’s what he’s hopin’

She lies again
It’s really not fine
Again
Because she did it all the time
Looking back at all the times
He couldn’t tell
That she wouldn’t tell

Looking back when she sees his face
She remembers everything
He’s ever told her
She knows he cried
When it was over
But it’s his fault
She’s no longer sober
He doesn’t care
Or doesn’t want to know
What he did to her inside
With no one else can she confide
Every day she’d rather die
She knows these months were all
A lie
