Broken To Break

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)

What has been broken to break,
Can not be mended to fix...
As it was to forgive and forget,
What is seen to witness...
And felt meant intended to leave in pieces. What has been broken to break,
Done with a doing to create heartache...
Stays to remain remembered.
Not for everyone.
Just for the one and some wounded.
With an effect,
Culprits do not suspect or expect...
Coming to deliver the sorrow and pain!
Which when inflicted,
Can not be fixed to mend its permanence!
