BROKEN HOPES




There’s a broken bridge
I cannot pass
To a broken place
to go - I must
A broken jar
I have with me
With a broken pen
inside to see

My broken heart
can’t help but sob
My broken pen
must kiss the pad
Waiting from a
broken place
But a broken bridge
is like a haze

My broken hopes -
I cannot chase
I cannot reach
the broken place
I need to get
the dusty pad
or I will turn
into a broken rag

Behind me is
a broken tree
I turn my head
to look and see
I grab my pen from
a broken jar
and touch the tree
from not so far

By a broken pen
I express my thoughts
To a broken tree
I engrave my hopes
But still I have
to reach the place
But a broken bridge
is a broken maze

My broken dreams
turn bleak and far
As ugly as
my broken jar
I have to get to
a broken place
For my broken pen
to find its ways
