Mirrors shattered

Tears of bleeding life

Screams ripping darkness

Blood on a glinting knife

XXX

A fragment of love

Caught in hell

Pieces of ragdolls

Scattered; oh, well

XXX

Broken lullabies

Singing of sunken ships

Heard by a broken heart

Sung by broken lips

XXX

Walls drenched in blood

A heart drenched in tears

A soul drenched in madness

A mind drenched in fears

XXX

"There's nothing I own! Nothing at all;

My house is the legion's*

My heart is my love's. My life is forfeit

And my soul is the demon's!"

XXX

Fragments and pieces

Of a stolen life

Flicker past dying eyes

Love and hatred; joy and strife

XXX

"Pathetic as I am

Shattered, broken, demented;

I curse the world that made me so

The devils that left me fragmented."

*I've often heard people refer to the government as 'The Legion' where I come from, and this refers to that.
