I Know a Man

I know a man, a breaking man Who can't be broken. He's been tested far beyond And come through fire. Sometimes I catch the sorrow in his eye As he torments himself with right from wrong. He argues, analyzes...sits in the other chair. He puzzles over every deed, Imagines her not being there... Then can't accept such thoughts of peace, Her fate, even if it's of her own choosing. A broken man who can't be broken, Sits weeping...not losing.
