If only we had known

The first time it happened
She wore dark glasses, wept all day
Hormones, we sniggered

The second time it happened
Walked into a wall she said
Alcohol, we smugly declared
Signed her cast, wished her well

The third time it happened
Fell down the stairs she said
And wouldn't smile
Lover's tiff, we winked

The fourth time it happened
A bee stung her she said
Frolicking in the park, we laughed

The fifth time it happened
She didn't come in
We heard she was broken
Like a toy
Which no-one could
Ever
Put back together again
If only
We had known
We cried
