Broken Boy
Broken boy
who revels in pain
lives a life
where only pieces remain
Fragments of what he was
of all he was meant to be,
hurting inside
but smiling so no one would see
Broken boy
who came to my arms
asked to be healed
and promised no harm
Said you just got lost
that all the right directions
lead you wrong
that you hadn’t found help
until I’d come along
Broken boy
reaching for my hand
holding onto me
using me to stand
Broken boy
filled with hopes and dreams
who would’ve thought
you’d be the one breaking me.
