I remember there was a time
when I was so broke
I couldn't even break a $5 bill
for breaded breakfast

half the time
I couldn't even break my fast
I broke down spiritually
as I was financially broke

I even tried being a house broker
getting ****** on by dogs
not house broken

hell, I even broke the law
hoping for a fast break
while I broke my body
working hard with no breaks

with an unbreakable will
I was breaking my bones
but ****, I couldn't even buy brakes
for my broke down car!

because I was so broke with no bread
I couldn't pay attention
to her breaking heart
and it broke us apart to parts

so much so that when I thought
we were breaking up
she had broken up with me long ago

because being unbroken and together
was so meaningless to her
she didn't even break a sweat
breaking in other guys

behind my broken
hard working broke back
she had already
broken in a bleak future

yet I should have felt guilty
for the break up?
**** that!
