Broken Open
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)

[Dedicated to the memory of Andrea Pratt Hockett 1981-2018]

Aaron is tense enough to break
As every mile would get him closer
Since Andrea there awaits
And would love him to the altar

Two pieces of a puzzle
Settled, unriddled

You’re broken
Broken open
I know you’re broken
Broken open
And you love the ghost that haunts your storyline

Love is hard to isolate
It might be lighter than helium
Although science should prevail
It wants to hang in the balance

I wrote her in a poem
So you could read her over
But all that’s meant to happen
It won’t last forever

You’re broken
Broken open
I know you’re broken
All broken open
And you love the ghost that haunts your storyline

You’re broken
Broken open
I know you’re broken
Broken open
And you love the ghost that haunts your storyline
