Beyond Repair
My sadness consuming
We are so completely broken
The pieces of us now
in a thousand shards
scattered, carried by the wind
Crawling and crying
Scratched and bloodied
I recover what I can
and reassemble the fragments
Knowing the damage is irreparable
Still I have to do something
Isn’t that what I am supposed to do?
Take the blame
and repair the wreckage
Isn’t that what I always do?
Impossible to find all the pieces
of a dysfunctional union
I am left holding
a misshapen, toxic mess that
will never function properly again
The realization is overwhelming
and I know I am obligated to
accept the inevitable
My heart breaks even more
but now I accept it is done
