One wrong step
in something you love
and your world comes crashing down
shatters and scatters
you only hope you can gather all the pieces

You explain to friends
family
and almost family
we will all take care of you

The pounding persists
for hours
days
how much longer?

I wish I was a fortune teller
could see into our future
know the exact moment when we find the last piece
to put you together again

We have accepted that you
will never be 100% the same again
but I love you 100% the same way
