FRACTURED

I know a man.
Who tried to kill the boredom.
but covered it with confusion.

I know a man.
Who put the blade to his throat but never slit,
or put the noose around his neck but never jumped,
or put the pills to his mouth but never swallowed,
or put the gun to his head but never shot.

I know a man.
Who is scared (both outside and inside).
Who was driven to the edge and back.
Who can't bear to remember (or he'll fall back into a vicious cycle of self-hate)

I love a man.
Who is broken,
and i can't fix...
