Broken, voiceless, lost in disarray,

gathering shards of this heart’s decay.

I breathe, though it’s a fleeting ray,

I wait, in shadows of dismay.

Broken, soulless, devoid of might,

no shield, no reason, lost in night.

Navigating waves of doubt’s cruel fight,

swimming through tides of blinding light.

Broken, restless, without calm,

no compass guides, no soothing balm.
