Broken Promises

It takes a thousand words to explain
What went wrong
It takes years for wounds to heal
When others curse along
You stand there searching for hope
But nobody seems to care
Life's too short
To stop and stare

You lurk around at night
Talking to your shadow
Walking through the corn maze
Trying to find a way out
Through the sorrow
You look around the world
That's fast asleep
Your head buried
In a pile of broken promises
Cut so deep.
