BROKEN

By 
Phillip Chidavaenzi

The poignant loneliness, 

In your eyes, 

With sadness I read 

Like the biting lines, 

Of a poet so heart-broken

The silent tears, 

Throughout the day I see 

Your sobbing, 

Throughout the silent night

Like glowing cigarette stubs, 

Jab at my heart 

Give me your hand

Through the night

With you, 

I will walk.
