Broken
by
Kerry OK

I have faced many enemies
Every battle I have won
I thought I was the strongest
No challenge I couldn't overcome

I promised I'd protect her
And valiantly I tried
Till I faced an enemy that invaded me
Took me over from the inside.

It was like nothing I had ever fought before
I couldn't beat it off with my fists
My gun could not harm it
I was trapped in its mighty grip

I thought I'd die before I'd tell them
But the monster possessed me
I was lost and I felt hopeless
I told them after I was broken, so completely

I pray that she can forgive me
That she knows how hard I tried
I'm sorry that we had to part
And I'm sorry that she cried

It has been a long journey
To reclaim my broken soul
But my best friend walked with me
