A broken pencil,

A cold cup of tea,

By a broken pen, spilling black ink.

Some out-of-tune strings,

A knife that's sharp,

An open mind,

And a locked-up heart.

Pages that were torn

From an age old book,

The darkest brown eyes that never look.

Words unspoken,

Chains that wrap,

A bittersweet smile,

A sharp, forced laugh.

The burning sun,

The pouring rain,

His clueless mind,

And my tortured brain.
