Broken

Broken glasses
Sheds of broken porcelains
In fragments ornaments the floor
The cabinets of our love ransacked
The drawers of our hearts emptied
A strewn the memories from our bleeding chests
Sacred memories defied
Trampled upon by eyes unworthy
And gossiped by uncircumcised tongues.
Fate, O fate!
If only our faith could understand this
In this one lifetime we’ve got
Beautiful dreams we weaved
Drowning in a pool of our despair
For things break and shatters
But nothing breaks like a heart!
Our home broken before we build
Our walls breached by sorrows
Our garden invaded by thorns
And our hearts hedge’s broken.
Broken like sunbaked bricks
Like china’s struck by a thunderbolt – broken!
