Broken Wings

She watched him go early this morning, 
her dreams shattered and spirit low -  
on broken wings, a wounded sparrow.             

Her tears fell like sudden summer rain,       
gone is the love she thought was so true -     
on broken wings, a wounded sparrow.    

Promises made that he could not keep      
left her with a wound that went so deep;   
the door she opened with so much care   
had crumbled down way beyond repair.     

There she stays in the corner crying       
just by herself and her own shadow -                                                
on broken wings, a wounded sparrow.
