Love Poem: Broken

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
