silent brown eyes
closing gently against tears
shes ready for another fall
soft brown hair
slipping through your fingers
touch her gentle, now
shes been scarred
ignore the pain in her eyes
pretend you dont see
ignore the pain in her heart
shes lived with it for years
nothing to see here
move along, move on
everyday she plays along
shes happy, shes free
she laughs loudest
sometimes too fast
but all the same
listen careful now
do you hear?
thats her heart breaking
another dream crashing
pieces scattered at her feet
now shes left to pick up
whats left
pieces so sharp and jagged
theres no hope
to put them back together
pieces so shattered
they slice her fingertips
as she places them in his palm
can he make her whole again?
or break her while trying
worse than she was broken before?
no one knows
no one cares
she closes his hand around
her heart
and mixes his blood with hers
this is whats left, she says
thats all i need, he replied
together,
they begin to rebuild
repair
remake
love.
if this breaks her
she will be beyond hope
pray he can put her together
again
