Broken
Tell me,
Can you hear it?
Listen,
Do you hear it?
That shattering noise,
A ball through a window,
A tire iron against a headlight.
The tinkling as it falls,
The jagged shards scattered around,
The irreparable damage done.
The similarity is striking,
Far too close for my liking.
I never thought I’d hear the sound,
Of my broken heart hitting the ground.
