Every night
As I sit and wait
For darkness to consume me
I think of the wonder
Of the ever broken heart
Just barely beating inside of me

I can’t help
But to gaze at the stars
Pretending they are all fallen dreams
That were once so prominent
Keeping my heart
From being eternally still

When the touches of an ever broken heart
Finally set in
And I feel myself breaking
Falling deeper and deeper
Into the dark cold abyss
That has finally opened inside of me

The final dream is revealed
To false, too late
Because as I hit the floor
I shatter

Now I’m finally gone
Vanquished the pains
Of the heart
That was forever broken
