One stanza for the chosen image...

Image selection: A Broken Cup

Title: Not Broken

Once broken, never whole.
Pasted together with words of
Apology,
excuse.
Taped over with
calm,
rationale,
logical,
explanations.

Our relationship now whole,
as before
To the outside world
who don't see the
thin slivered crack of
Doubt,
hurt,
Guilt,
Betrayal.

Side-ways glances of awkwardness
smoothed over with empty smiles,
soft pats on the shoulder.
A rare hug here,
a rare hug there,
and empty compliments

that show us
Once broken, never whole.
Once broken, better left alone.
