A short story of complicated love expressed through the voice of poetry.
He's speaking to me in broken english
His communication fails
A combination of words and gestures
None of it makes sense
A spur of fire and ice
Flames beneath the sea
And his eyes are soft
His words are rough
He hears but doesn't listen
He looks but doesn't see
Dancing like the deaf
It's beautiful but broken
Screaming of hate
Confessing to love
If he would just stop
Just stop before he hits the wall
Then he would see
That though I don't understand it
His broken english comforts me
