Revised 7/19/10

Broken

I'm broken.

Yes;

Broken.

You broke me

But you can't tell.

I must stay strong

For my kits,

Our kits,

And I'm coping well.

-x-

I'm broken.

Yes;

Broken.

A crack

Through my heart;

The best Warrior of ThunderClan,

Has torn the forest apart.

-x-

My love,

My mate,

My fear,

For your sake,

I'm hanging low;

Keeping quiet.

Betrayal,

You ask?

No.

It is not betrayal.

Nothing is left to say,

Except Tigerclaw,

Always Tigerclaw,

Why'd you break me all the way?

-x-

Had you no mercy

For the one you loved?

But concern for our kits

Is that all you think of?

You can't have them

I'll fight to the death

If I can't love you,

Tigerclaw,

They're all I have left.

-x-

I'm broken.

Yes;

Broken.

You broke my heart,

But no one can tell.
