A Broken Heart
I am a broken heart
By you I was shattered
So I tried to take back my power
By sharpening the shards
But as time went on
My pieces began healing
From hard glass , to soft flesh
Bound together and beating
And I almost felt shamed
By my lack of transformation
By becoming hard , but then soft again
While others become lethal
But then I think again
Which is better to have ?
A heart broken , or a mind twisted ?
"A heart broken ", I answer ,
"Because broken glass is easier to glue together
Than a tangle of yarn is to untwist."
And while I'm a healing heart , love , you're stuck with your own mentality
Unless you let God untwist the threads .
And that is a good reason to be soft .
That is a reason to not be lethal .
