Broken Home

[DeadByMorning]

This is an empty city
Filled with broken dreams, shattered hopes,
Lost and lonely faith.
Each street bleeds
With the sorrow of the city
Every wound fresh
Bleeding frigid tears of scarlet,
The bridges have all been burned
By crimes of searing passion.
Each love is chained
To the darkness;
Heart beating slow
And then it died;
The heartbeat of the city
Diminished and the cold
Set in, daggers of ice;
Each bird bringing
A wave of deceit
Overcoming this screaming town
Of derelect and broken homes
Where hearts once beat
Fierce and strong...
What happened to this place?
Flowers used to grow,
Tears turned into a spring rain,
Wounds were kissed and healed.
Now flowers are burned ashes,
Tears fall in a scarlet storm,
Wounds ooze and infect...
What happened here?
This is a tale, my friend,
A tale of a badly broken home...
Fear is painted on a stark white wall;
Neglect builds on a mantelpiece, untouched;
Anger pierces the cold, bloody silence;
Tears fall down with rain and thunder;
Hatred is buried deep under the skin;
When it broke free
Everything in this place died
And only fear, hate and pain remain
The tears slicking the ground
And a "no trespassing" sign
Stuck deep in the earth.
This was a tale
Of another broken home.

The heartbeat of the city
Diminished and the cold
Set in, daggers of ice;

this is something apropos to where i'm at now, this time, as the parent.
