Fergal Dunne

Broken

He danced in your tears

Like a little boy in the summer rain.

He did it,

Because

You let him.

Feeling numb now

Like before the doctor came.

Hoping to answer correctly.

You took another line

Because you wanted to escape the pain.

You did it,

Because

No one said no.

You were smiling now

Like a little child

Who got the good present.

When he struck out

Spinning like a fly without wings,

You fell down.

You didn’t understand this thing

But you forgave him.

No marks this time.

You cooked the evening meal

Because he was hungry.

You did it

Because,

You always do.

You were broken now

Like burnt embers,

Ready for the bin.
