Broken Boy

A Knave’s Journey

Over twenty years ago

I battled random fanboys online.

Still in their Rascalian, he man club, girls icky phase,

Most scoffed at onscreen tragic love

And laughed

When I told them such things were literary,

Such things were human.

And now?

Now they quietly know,

Broken like the song says

By all their own hurts,

That love is

A thing of both beauty and tears.
