Musings by The Poet Loriet
Broken
You said you only
offered me broken embraces,
but how can that be true
when you held me longer
than I've ever been held?
Nothing about you
broke any part of me,
not even my heart
because you hold it
still, and I know
you'll never
break it,
just like I know
I'll never break yours,
but you can't
give it back
either.
You will hold on
forever.
My heart can't
forget.
Not now.
Not ever.

You will hold on
