Crash

Shattered

I rode towards you with such 
a reckless inattention.

Nothing could arrest this momentum,
I induced upon the situation.

I should have known the damn brakes
couldn’t hold up to the foregone collision.

And whereas you were just bruised and sore, 
I was destroyed, shattered, broken.
