When broken is irreparably broken.
A glass half broken
is almost useless.
Unless you drink
by pouring its contents
directly into your mouth
without your lips touching
its cutting edges.
A friendship
once damaged
is untrustworthy,
even worse than the broken glass.

A profound thought here.
A broken glass has still the possibility of being mended, broken trust is another matter.
Good peom.
So true about the damaged friendship. A little glue can repair a broken glass, but rebuilding trust? I don’t know if that can ever really be done.
What a truthful analogy. I really like where you went with this.
Ouch! There’s precious truth here.
