Perfectly Broken

— Bacil Donovan Warren

Sitting on the lawn, at the breaking dawn,

Happy in the company we keep;

I bathe in your soul on that grassy knoll

While breathing the breath of my own.

Two people apart, but sharing one heart,

Happy in the company we keep;

As lovers we talk, as friends we will walk—

And I breathe the breath of my soul.

Not perfect we are, but know from afar—

Happy in the company we keep—

That mistakes are made, and angers mislaid:

And still will I breathe on my own.

For even if we are so meant to be

Happy in the company we keep,

Each of us now must learn how to adjust

As I keep the breath of my soul.

It comes from within, leaks out with a grin,

Happy in the company we keep;

Leave it unspoken: “perfectly broken”

As I remain true to my soul.
