Broken

It was the first time she realized it....he was broken

Her eyes sought his.

Sheds of hope, of panic dwelling in her own.

Yet all discovered was what

She knew would be found.

Empty.

Disappointment.

What more could she expect?

He knew his actions.

Comprehended all that took place.

Even strode toward the inner black,

with such immediateness

that

       he

             slipped.

expecting to be pulled up,

naively thinking to be fixed.

It was the first time she realized

that he was broken.

He

    was

        cracked.
