She can breathe easy
again
So why does she
lie awake
fearful of the morning

He has
forgiven her
Now all is well
So why does he still
hesitate
with his touch

They have moved
on
So why do they
embrace
no more

The surface is
clean,
but the underbelly
is falling apart
at the seams

The cover is
spotless,
but the pages are
torn beyond
repair

He is,
She is,
They are,
Broken
