Your Broken and Bruised

You're Broken and Bruised

 

Girl, you're livin' life

Based on one too many hidden lies

It's too bad that you can't see, what his distance really means

Empty eyes lead to an empty heart,

Oh how you wish you could go back to start

 

Tears come to your eyes...as you start to realize

You're broken and bruised; you've become the abused

Neverending waiting, your life has started fading

From too many years...spent on this broken road

Of broken dreams.

 

Now please don't hate me, I'm just saying,

Your love's wasted on a heart so cold,

Who thought he'd be so bold?

 

Your reflection doesn't show you,

Just a hollow figure, broken...untrue

Eyes so hard, never knew he'd take it quite...this...far

Babe, I'm just sayin...your love's not persuadin...anymore.

 

Tears come to your eyes...as you start to realize

You're broken and bruised; you've become the abused

Neverending waiting, your life has started fading

From too many years...spent on this broken road

Of broken dreams.

 

As you reach for the door, you tell him this can be no more

Empty eyes, covered lies, raw emotion puts perspective in motion

He doesn't ask for you to stay, it's better off being this way

Your head's held high, but deep down inside

You hope one day he'll look back and cry

As he realizes all of his mistakes, and wish he'd asked for you to stay

 

You're broken and bruised...you've become the abused...

Travelin' down this broken road of broken dreams.

You're broken and bruised...but no longer the abused...

You're done with this road of broken seams.

You took me on a sad and painful trip with your words. We learn to take and give hate till one day we cannot. Mistake are made and we must get up wiser and smarter we hope. A powerful poem.

Very emotional and saddening, but unfortunately it's a road far too many of us travel in the name of love. Just know that you're never on that road alone, and eventually you'll meet some random hitchhiker along the way who will travel with you for a while. Who knows, maybe they'll end up going with you all the way to your destination.

A+ Bunnie. :)

A wonderful and powerful emotional poem which sends us the readers on a rollercoaster of mixed emotions as we will have no doubt been here and in the future perhaps this is what lies in wait for many.
The rhythum was fabulous and your description of the heartache and the misplaced trust reminded me of that CELINE DION tracks "ONLY ONE ROAD & MISLED" from her album "THE COLOUR OF MY LOVE".
There is also a hint of "OPEN ROAD by GARY BARLOW in this poem.
You are wasted as a poet you have immense talent as a song writer in my view.

This is really good ! :)
& i think in a way it can give hope to all those who are being abused.
That it's better to walk away, leave that person if they are not willing to get help
(and its best not to live with them while they're still in the process)
and to start fresh.
Very nice ^_^
