Broken I Am

Broken I Am

As a man, I am irreversibly broken beyond repair
Pushed beyond limits I am, tired from the wear
Unable to process all I’ve learned tears me down inside
Praying to get away from it all, I slip away and hide

As a father I am broken, reflecting on lessons I taught
Not able to recall a pivotal moment for my kids I fought
Broken dreams for my children I hold heavily in my hands
Moments to make it right slip through my fingers like sand

As a husband I am broken, vows unfulfilled with my wife
I brought her heartache and pain and caused undue strife
With her my love has stayed throughout all these years
I’m too broken to even comfort her and wipe away her tears

As a grandfather I am broken, my little sunshine has gone away
Each day it gets so much harder to even face another day
She’s no longer here for me to hug and tell her ‘I love you’
As this broken man sits here alone, what am I going to do?

Far too broken inside I am and no one can really see my pain
I want to leave this life behind so that I can see my Caylee again
Caylee is my strength right now and I know she watches over me
So I’ll take each day as it comes as my broken heart mends slowly
