Broken

Pieces of lifes puzzle
fell into place
the moment
I heard your words…

Hours spent sharing
the details of the fabric
that makes us who we are…

Foot steps taken knowing
we share the same view
even though you
see the sun
when I see
the moon…

Broken

The word spins
continues to spin
through my thoughts

Broken

Do I have to face it?

Broken

The details in the fabric
change
but stay the same…

We still share the same view
even though you
see the sun
when I see
the moon…

Broken

AF Matthews 23.5.11



Details in the fabric…

If it’s a broken part, replace it
If its a broken arm then brace it
If it’s a broken heart then face it

Lyrics by Jason Mraz

    wow brilliant write TC, I even love the use of italics, gives dramatic effect to the word that repeats. Now stop distracting me from my psychology revision. ;)

  • Thanks so much Nathan and sorry for the distraction – but you could probably practice your psychology on this piece! I tried linking the song via youtube, but it wouldn’t work… it is so very beautiful a song… x

    Such a thought provoking piece, beautifuly composed-
    We still share the same view
    even though you

    Ohh Alison, making my heart ache here. So beautiful and so eloquent, but the word Broken… I just want to shelter you from that. I want to give you hope and say all things are still possible, so I will believe it…if you do. Sending love and hugs, shar xoxoxoxo ♥♥♥

  • Dear Shar, your words have brought a smile and a tear… I too live with hope in my heart, even though at times it feelings like the hope is piercing deep! Thanks you so much for the shelter, ’tis need some days… love and hugs to you too dear friend…x
