Broken Images

Broken bruised and battered,
The reality shatters.
Another open wound,
Let my thoughts consume.

Staring at the stranger in the mirror,
The face isn't getting any clearer.
A pained look in the eyes,
Everything is built on lies.

A hollow impression,
A somber expression.
The world has obliterated,
Our souls are liberated.

I am shattered beyond repair,
Broken pieces scattered everywhere.
Another failure in everyone's eyes,
A life of deceit and another pack of lies.

Feeling raw, used and abandoned once again,
Being left alone in the end.
Getting ditched at another time,
Feeling out of place and unaligned.

Breakdown of Peace

He feels the soft grainy sand beneath his fingers,
The salty taste of the beach water lingers;
As he dives deeper into the ocean,
Feeling no sense of emotion.

The crystals of time stop,
The sounds of a pistol pops;
Breaking the silence,
Nothing left but violence.

Blood splatters onto the white sand,
He keeps shouting commands;
Everyone stands stock still in fear,
Everything is unclear.

A splash of color,
Waves of light,
Sparks of white,
Left in squalor.

A rush to the head,
The familiar taste of lead;
He collapses,
Falling into another relapse.
