I Thought

I did not think
It would happen to me

I thought
I had it covered

A child enters
So broken and so happy
Complicated and simple
Needing everything
Because nothing was ever there

A mother responds
Also broken and happy
Also complicated and simple 
Wanting everything 
Because everything is the cover

A bond forms
Fighting brokenness with happiness
But complexity is not simple
Everything is not an option
Because there are more than two

A break is forced
Completely broken and unhappy 
Too complex and without simplicity 
Everything feels impossible 
Because we are not one

It happened to me
I thought wrong

The heart break is real
It is too familiar
