Broken things
Coming to think of it,
it seems
I've always
had a penchant
for
broken things
It just never had much appeal,
if it worked like it should
And so
I've always
gravitated
toward
the broken
and the
broken hearted
Dames fated to love me just short of the mark
Destined to run off soon as their ghosts come calling
Is it sick
that I require
muses
touched
by Eris
to peak
my interest?
Repeatedly falling for fallen angels
finding light in the cracks
of their splintered wings
failing to realise
that
shattered halos
become nooses
And this abhorrence
for simplicity
will one day
be
the death of me
