Analysis of Broken
The words stab like daggers
The sentences twist the blade
The actions shove it in farther
My heart bleeds
Your words
Caused the wound
My heart bleeds
Your actions
Worsen the bleeding
My heart lies
Unsafe from the sadness
Unsafe from the despair
Your words destroyed me
Even though
Truth they hold
My last sanctuary broken
Destroyed by the hurt
Disintegrated by the words
