A broken heart.

A broken trust.

A broken promise made.

A broken lock,

without a key,

a damaging mistake.

By Annie Spratt on Unsplash

A new heartbreak,

an old heartache,

with no way to escape.

No good reason, rhyme or why

just time to say goodbye.

Last words, last rites,

no chance to change,

last tears for you to cry.

Never spoken, broken again

no time again to try.

By Heather Zabriskie on Unsplash

The medaling hands,

the cold hands of time.

Caught in a rhythmic spell

A broken clock, expressionless

with so much time to tell

Seconds, minutes, hours

A single moment passed.

When careless hands -recklessly,

destroy the looking glass.

Seamlessly, without success

repairing years of disrepair.

Two broken people find

beauty in the broken

A mosaic brokenness
