a broken chair

23 3 2
                                    

Silence sits in a broken chair
Legs won't run
They're beyond all repair

My heart beats
But no one will care

This is the quiet room

Tear drops fall
In a silly sieve
Truths hide now
In clothes you don't believe

Music plays
But the keys all work
Food runs away
With a new found
Spork

Kindness kills
And good men are vile
Empty games
Now are all worthwhile

Shocking news
Puts us all to sleep
Babies laugh
Old folks weep

Somehow I find
What I never lost
And paid so dear
For what had no cost

I drank my grief
And ate away my pain
I fasted so long I'll never hurt again
