Broken Man

If a woman is broken

There is a man who wants to help

He's sad when she's sad

He'll hold her until the pain

Fades away like a memory

He'll pick up the pieces

And spend the time

To put the fragile pieces

Back together until she's whole

He'll whisper to her

"No one will hurt you anymore"

As she falls asleep

In his protective arms

If a man is broken

There's no woman who wants to help

He's sad but can't show it

He'll hold himself trying to make the pain

Fade away like an illusion

He'll try to pick up the pieces himself

Only to drop

                   Those

                              Fragile pieces

He'll whisper to himself

"Maybe someday, a woman will save me"

As he falls asleep

In his own arms

I think it's true that women see "broken men" as a nuisance - they are ex;pected to be less emotional than women. Personally I have always found a certain attraction to broken men and I have a tendency to want to fix them. . . this is a good example of the ways between men and women.
