Notes About The Poem

Date written: 06/15/2019
 

All the Broken Pieces

I clearly see anguish written all over 
your face with black ink, and I see 
pieces of you scattered before me like
shards of glass. I sense your unwillingness...

to take yet another chance at love again,
but have no fear. I'm here to hold 
your hand. I promise not to mislead you
Never mind who hurt and deserted you

You needn't breathe a single word 
about your pain and heartache; 
they show through your telling eyes
But I'm here to kiss away all your tears 

So take refuge in my comforting arms;
let me in to your heart and allow me 
to stay forever, I'll glue you back 
again, broken piece by broken piece

If you let me heal you, I'll make you
infinitely stronger than ever before
I'd fix all the broken pieces of your heart
with the sheer power of my love.
