Broken
Born 1959, M, from Stoke, United KingdomSo many times I have called to you
How can I show you I care?
And how many times can my heart be broken
This love, I’m not sure I can bear
Reality tells me I’m wasting my time
Over and over again
Can’t you heal this ache that is mine
Killing me with this pain
Echoing voices that fill my head
Redemption comes at a cost
Hope is crushed as dreams are shed
Inside me all is lost
It seems to me that nothings real
This world just cannot be
A judgement made with no appeal
A cell door without a key
Locked inside my nightmare
A maze inside my head
Looking for somewhere, anywhere
Where I can feel instead
Numbed by life, by circumstance
Accusing thoughts I’ve never spoken
Paranoia does it’s happy dance
But I am left alone and broken
Broken(Tallisman)
So many times I have called to you

Killing me with this pain
Echoing voices that fill my head

Inside me all is lost
It seems to me that nothings real
This world just cannot be
A judgement made with no appeal

Locked inside my nightmare
A maze inside my head
Looking for somewhere, anywhere
Where I can feel instead
Numbed by life, by circumstance
Accusing thoughts I’ve never spoken
Paranoia does it’s happy dance
But I am left alone and broken

02/29/2024This is heartbreaking, I was once in this situation. You have so much to show that you care but this person is not there so you can express all that is on the inside.
Thank you for sharing!
