This poem portrays a deep sense of heartbreak following an uncommunicated breakup, expressing the emotional turmoil of abandonment. The individual feels lost and afflicted, grappling with shattered trust and a reality that has changed without their loved one. They reminisce about the once hopeful relationship, now marred by confusion and pain due to sudden silence and deception. The overwhelming sense of loss is emphasized through vivid imagery of a heart fractured into countless pieces. Ultimately, the narrative conveys the enduring impact of this heartbreak, suggesting that healing may be a lengthy process, leaving an indelible mark on the individual’s emotional state.
When I wrote “Broken,” I was drawing from the universal experience of loss that so many people go through. I often use poetry as a way to step into someone else’s shoes, to imagine their emotions, their struggles, and their silence. This song is one of those explorations—a fictional story of betrayal and pain told through my words.
The verses unravel the inner world of someone abandoned without closure. Lines like “Your lies and deception shattered my trust” and “This heart may never be whole again” came to me as I tried to capture the voice of a character left devastated by broken promises. I wanted the listener to feel that spiral of confusion, rejection, and shattered trust, as though they were the one living through it.
What excites me about “Broken” is that it isn’t just a song—it’s a narrative. It’s a fictional journey through heartbreak, written in the same way a novelist might create a character or a filmmaker might craft a scene. My goal was to make the emotions so vivid and relatable that anyone who listens can see themselves in the story, even if it isn’t their own.
For me, poetry and music are about connection. “Broken” may not come from my personal life, but it comes from a place of empathy and imagination. I hope those who hear it find comfort in knowing that their feelings, whether lived or imagined, can be expressed through art—and that even fiction can reveal deep truths about the human heart.
