Broken

Just a tiny, little crack

Slowly getting bigger with every word unspoken

Like a knife cutting through your back


Shattered

Inside and out

But your agony will never be heard

Because you cannot shout


Faded

Everything hanging by a thread

Your comfort zone has been invaded

To the point where tears could no longer be shed


Gone

What used to be

Like it was all just one big con

And there never a you and me


You cut the string

Broke the bond

Throwing away everything

Into the nearby pond


This little egg sitting on the wall

Cannot be put together again

Not because of the fall

But because you pushed it over the edge way back when


Try as hard as you might

To heal the broken

But it'll stay shattered it off spite

And you can take a piece of it away as a token
