Broken

By HattoriHanzo

Here I lay, your broken hero, slow surrender
Born in to the grave I was never alive at all
This body limp before you holds no answers
So sad to say there was no rise before the fall.

Forgive me not my Dear, my heart is empty
I offer you no comfort in my passing
When I lay to rest you too shall sleep eternal
Blood fills your bed – death everlasting.

Into this lake you burn for your betrayal
This blade still deep inside my broken back
With salted wounds I speak with wicked vengeance
May fire be your end as night is black.

    Concept well conveyed. It could flow a bit better in the first 2 stanzas, but you ended very strongly. I love that last stanza. Powerful. Concluded the piece well.
