The Broken Man
The name presents a warning sign
Reputable for the worst
And his cronies
He says the word and they pounce
Come down on you
Like a tonne of bricks
With a crowbar
And the need to inflict
All the bad in the world

He is scum with a nickname
Dirty D secret with the alliterative twist
Orders them dirty with the double D’s
He can afford to be picky
Wretched to the moon and back
Filth through terrorised eyes
They say he’s killed before
He likes to look into their eyes
As he twists the knife slowly

Or so I’ve been told
So when I looked him in the eye
That first time
And saw the broken man
I took him in my arms
I wanted to fix him
He snorts his addiction
One tiny delicate piece a day
Mastered by professional hands

His professional hands
The broken man who longs for one thing
A way out he tells me
Then he twists my arms behind my back
And whispers the secrets of the world to me
Tells me all
And the rumors are set out in his second line
In a broken line of his addiction
Because he lies

He is dirty
His breath is heavy and he smells like sex
An addiction in himself
Hatred to build a beautiful monster
And trust to bring it back down again
He turns the tables
And offers me a way out
I tell him I can fix him
I lie
