We weren't broken

I have always loved writing poetry. I don't consider myself exceptionally good at it, but writing in general is a big outlet for me. Most people don't know that about me. I have found that my best work happens when I don't try so hard to use fancy language, but just real words. Normally, a phrase comes to me and I use it over and over again and write my other feelings around that common thread. Tonight I wrote the poem below. Again, I don't consider myself a genius, but it's simplicity speaks to me.

We Weren't Broken

We weren't broken. 
Where'd you go?
Why'd you leave?
We weren't broken!

I stepped and then
You stepped and then
I fell
But we weren't broken
Just mending
