Broken

Water.
It falls gradually.
Continuously.
Plummeting endlessly,
Through the wall
Of stone.

The dam shattered,
Like cold glass in a fire.
All because,
Of a careless mistake.

What can be done
About something
This broken?
Who could fix something
That cut me
So deep?
I thought I was strong.
But the words
That were spoken,
Was all that it took
To break someone
Like me.
