Broken in Pieces When there was no hope in your worldI was there for youWhen your heart achedI soothed your painWhen you needed me the mostI let you lean on meWhen you saw no futureI painted you a new oneWhen others hurt you I consoled youWhen you felt like there was no tomorrowI cried withContinue reading “Broken in Pieces”

Broken Broken like the wing of an injured bird Broken is the silence of words never heard Broken like branches of a tree slowly bent and withered Crippled by the performance You so cruelly delivered Feeling shattered and broken in a thousand parts It is the sliver of glass that is optimism in my heartContinue reading “Broken – Poem of the Month – May 2022”
