Broken

He kissed her softly

in the middle of the square

in that warm april morning

unknowing, he didn’t care.

 

They fell fast and hard

The bond tightened so quick

They knew in their hearts

life was about to begin.

 

They only needed each other

the rest of the world vanished.

Living their perfect love story,

ignoring that they were both damaged.

 

They fought, hard and relentlessly

for their promised happy ending,

They said “True love will always conquer,

we just need to put more work in”.

 

They never stopped to think

That the time wasn’t right

That perhaps, if they waited

They could have saved what they had.

 

He shouldn’t have kissed her

in the middle of the square

if they had seen they were both broken

They probably would have cared.
