Broken

Written by Jacob Ibrag

There was a moment when our

minds collided. With a moment of silence,

 we shared everything inside us. Then it all

fell apart. Gave you my hand and you slapped

it off. Nothing stays together for more than

a few seconds. Real till it’s fake, but oh was

it great and I saw what we could be. It was

the after. You got scared, and tried to explain

it, ‘four little letters will destroy whatever

this is.’ So I let her go, can’t fix what

wants to stay broken.
