Broken
Fatherless son
Man with no family
Running alone
With no one to cry out to
Motherless child
She's a few blocks away
But dead from her own blood
As she parties away
Like a man with a severed limb
I try to smile in my loss
While the river takes away
The branches of a broken family tree
I cry in the dark
But remain unheard
Who's to listen
But the sleeping birds?
