Broken Girl Poem by RIC BASTASA

broken girl
come to me
i will guide you
to this austrian mirror

see yourself
your heart bleeding
your flesh rotting
your bones rattling
our nose twitching
your eyes crying
badly you are hurt
you are but pieces
scattering without
direction

broken girl
come to me
embrace me
i have this love
to make the repairs

broken girl
come to me
i have this trust
to give you

broken girl
come to me
let us to go the fields
and feel the air of freedom
let us play in the shores
of life where the sea is gentle
and kind
where the sands are soft
where our eyes can sleep
where tomorrow is a promise
where today is just today
nothing big and illusory

now, you smile to me
broken girl take this love
and be whole again
