Broken

Along the broken hall,
In the broken bathroom
Of a broken home,
There he is slouched.

His bleak, vacant eyes gazing lazily at me;
The eyes of someone close.

A puddle of blood.”

I try my best to pick him up,
But I drop him.
I try my best to carry him
But I am too weak,
I cannot carry him,

I cannot carry-
