Broken

Marching alone in sadness,
Emptiness fills my heart.

Years go by,
Yet I do not move on.

A choice I make,
Loneliness is my reward.

The pain fades,
And the love is hidden.

Frozen in time,
Like a broken man.

This is what I deserve,
This is my fate.

Why Go On

Tears of sadness fall.
A once happy face loses its smile.
Emptiness replaces hope.
Yet I go on.

The luster of life fades away.
Dim is the light that is followed.
Survival replaces desire.
Yet I go on.

Numb is the feeling.
Memories of happiness fade.
Despair replaces acceptance.
Yet I go on.

Death is the expression.
Resistance to fate is pointless.
Darkness replaces everything.
Now I am gone.
