Broken

We met by chance

At a hospital

 

I had a broken leg

He had a broken spirit

 

The more I healed

The worse he got

 

He cried on my shoulder

He would miss me when I left

 

My leg completely healed

And he got worse

 

I cried when his parents told me

I sobbed when I said good-bye

I collapsed as he was lowered to the ground

 

He was healed

And I was broken

The last line is haunting! Sums up your beautiful poem in a nutshell. Your poetry does have a lot of pain hidden inside of it, hope you did not have to go through this much...excellent effort! :)
