Broken

He told her he was broken But she saw him differently A priceless clock That was slightly off  A little complicated Just needed timing, winding,  Some small adjustment She thought she could  Do the necessary repairs,  It should’ve been a cinch It would’ve been worth it But he turned out to be Not a time-piece, but a time bomb And she met him at the right (wrong) time He blew up right next to her She didn’t have time to take cover And the force of the implosion Created a black hole That swallowed him up Into the space inside  Himself While she was expelled To another universe He was broken And she could not fix him He would have to fix himself
