Poetry
by Toni Rendon ’24
She’s so beautifully broken
So softly spoken
Hurt in the moment
Lost in the commotion
He’s entirely hopeless
Drowning in emotions
Needing a connection
This empty bed leaves him restless
Both clumsy and reckless
Living with a death wish
Helping pick up the pieces
Trying to make things even
They give each other meaning
Tryna make up for love’s past treason
All their hearts’ bleeding
The heartbreak seasons
And missed out dreaming
Knowing there’s a reason
For them finally meeting
They fall in love no matter how hectic
A couple of kids
Young
Dumb
And reckless
