Broken Ties. Poem by Graham Jones

Shattered lies and broken ties
Once more to bear those uttered lies
The dream has gone
Which once was real
No one to share the pain I feel

Another fool it sounds so sad
Attracting only what is bad
A cry for help
That no one hears
Like cracking ice that disappears

The rage I feel so silent now
All twisted and bitter, familiar somehow
I've walked this path
More then once before
The scars have healed, yet the hearts still sore

Never again will I feel or trust
Or bare my soul for a beggars crust
To be trampled and crushed
Without even a care
In love it seems theres nothing fair

An empty shell without remorse
Emotions dead all drained and coarse
That trusting love awaiting fate
Discarded now replaced by hate

No heavy heart, no tears to cry
No looking back no passing sigh
I know the feelings oh so well
A new dawn breaks on a life of hell.
