Broken

I lie here, shattered,
pieces strewn...
my pain now throbbing,
to the tune

of your heart,
from the hurt you caused
when you decided to take me,
innocence lost.

Your broken promises,
cut deeper still,
from your firey hate,
comes a painful chill.

My crimson tears fall,
twisted wings cannot fly,
such pain from my love,
please, just tell me...Why?
