Broken
Broken
Broken glass, torn jeans, a weathered hat
All once beautiful
Glass, maybe a work of art in a museum,
bringing beauty to a bare wall.
That perfect pair of jeans,
that fit your body like a glove,
and when we wear them we shine as a movie starlet
That perfect cowboy hat shaped to perfection,
picked from a five and dime that has character
of an old western movie,
when worn you swear you can smell the stale liquor
from old west saloons
All once shiny as a new penny...
Broken as in "Broken in" or damaged?
One persons trash is another person's treasure.
What appears to be damaged just may be character.
Character I give you me.
Broken
