broken bones



on a side walk I lie with a broken hope
pain of an unreachable place too hard to bare
taking my own only the feasible solution
yet i am unwilling to commit such felonies
never been a moralistic guy yet all I has was the law
bend it a few times but i have never broken it
a fractured bone still heals in a few ages
leaving just wounds yet this isn't just a fracture
its years of emotional neglect that has led here
a place where expectations are just a way you get hurt
where believe is just a naïve thing to say as a kid
a time where all we feel betrayal than those moments
a dark hole of uncertainty and distrust toward us
a depleting race on the verge of swallowing itself
drama just a way to feel a bit of emotion in this cold
summers kill the joy with spitting fires of rays
winters kill the fun with freezing bones to their core
all words are just weapons that lead to extinction
destroying hearts that only feel love with more hate
dissipating minds brought to their timid end
