He was broken, a shattered soul
With heavy burdens, he couldn't control
Damaged by life, lost in his pain
He thought he was meant to suffer, with nothing to gain
Then she appeared, with a heart so kind
She saw his brokenness, but didn't mind
She was also hurting, with scars of her own
But together, they found a love to call home
Their broken pieces fit together so well
Like two lost puzzle pieces, finally able to dwell
In each other's embrace, they found solace and peace
Their love was a sanctuary, a much-needed release
But as fate would have it, their timing was off
He was healing, just as she was lost
She was ready to love, when he needed to heal
Their paths crossed, but their hearts couldn't feel
And so they let go, with tears in their eyes
Knowing that their love, was a beautiful surprise
For a moment in time, they were each other's cure
But sometimes, love is not meant to endure
He moved on, and so did she
But their love was a memory, they would always keep
For even though they couldn't make it last
They found healing in each other's broken pasts
And though their love story didn't have a happy ending
They'll always be grateful, for the love that was mending
For he was broken, and so was she
But together, they made each other whole, just not at the same time.
