A broken man

He lays in the reins

Amidst this frozen snow…

Liquid  fire in his veins

Yet nothing left to show.

 

Because  a grieving heart is a deaf one

Nothing ever goes through…

Nowhere left to run

Just tumbling around with no clue.

 

He just asked the dust to carry him

When the world goes to sleep

When the lights are getting dim

So no one will see these wounds are deep.

 

She keeps his heart in a flower vase

Loving the beautiful token

So many wished to be in his place

But only one remained to be - the broken
