A Broken Man

Right here before you is where I stand
With the shame of having become a broken man

I once held a position of power and respect
But now I'm the epitome of pain and neglect
Right here before you is where I stand
With the pain of having become a broken man

My appearence once glowing, now seems dishevelled
Months have passed by and in anger I have revelled
Right here beside you is where I stand
With the fear of having become a broken man

I searched, and still I search, yet he slips through my fingers
His triumphant grin exulting his power which still lingers
Why is it that you walk hand in hand?
While I stand here behind you, a broken man

I joined with the motive of a pirate slain
You joined to ease this scoundrels pain
Yet I'll always be there with you, ready at hand
Despite having become a broken man
