Shattered Glass

You choose to hurt me
Shattered glass and stone
Barren soil seeking
Life where there is none
This beating heart rots
Decades of abuse
Empty of roses
Like garbage is tossed
Who do you cry for
Look for in your dreams
Windows of the fire
Begging to let be
Free fall your demons
Wanting asylum
Pretty pictures of
A happier time
Crushed velvet knuckles
Beat against my skull
Weep softly angel
For soon draws the nigh
Crested snow pure white
Scar a peaceful dawn
Rest weary our heads
Should tomorrow come
And I shall dance dear
Always in your arms
For this broken time
Our hearts beat as one
