being in love with a broken boy

is a dangerous game.

a broken boy is a raging wildfire

never to be tamed.


broken girls are expected;

broken boys are rare.

they lift you off your feet

then let you fall through the air.


broken boys know how to get you going.

they know how to manipulate your heart

that's their exquisite art.


broken boys are jagged. 

filed down by harsh decisions of others.

breaking hearts,

and disappointing their confident mothers.


for broken boys,

being loved is strange and unusual.

these poor boys are

considered delusional.


listen up broken boy!

stop being so scared-

i've known for a long time

that she never really cared.


perhaps broken boys

are not suited for broken girls

sitting in their empty void of a room

picking away at their broken pearls.


all she does is await someone

to hold her so tight:

her rough, scattered pieces,

glue together so nicely

her eyes become permanently bright.


loving broken boys is a dangerous game.

it could put you in a black and uncomfortable coffin,

so please, beautiful and broken lovers-

proceed with caution.
