Baby Im Still Broken

Baby I’m Still Broken It’s like a day that never comes. A promise that’s unspoken. A dream that never does come true. And baby, I’m still broken. I don’t know if I told you. Or if I failed to mention. Deceiving you in anything has not been my intention. But who I am and used to be, they aren’t so far between. A mix of all the things I’ve done and all the things I’ve seen. The monster known from childhood that lived beneath my bed. Now it seems to me at least, resides inside my head. Coming back from time to time I feel it drawing nearer. I can see it’s eyes in mine when I look in the mirror. Still I try with all I am I try with all my might. To be the man you need me to and help you through the night. Clinging to your love for me and promises we’ve spoken. Pushing through to get to you but baby I’m still broken. Edwin C Hofert
