Broken Boy from Broken Boy by slackwater

Maiden Hair: part in the center, alone in the garden you danced in your fallen leaves.
Mournful glare, glistening with every breath. The wind exhaled and swallowed the debris.
I did all I could, I'm drowning but it feels good.

Broken boy: skipping his records, stuck an all his same old melodies.
Heavy steps back to that hallow swale, he stood on the steps and retired another year

When his heart gave out under the canopy, the darkened old stadium faded under the breeze
When the shots rang out down from the balcony, your frail copper petals and seeds succumbed to the freeze.

And I did all I could, I'm drowning, but it feels good.

Broken boy, you could not save her, encircled in red she called out for deafened ears.
