Best When Broken

Back arching like a tree branch,
Take me and break me
As if snapping twigs with your hands.

Body brittle like a china doll,
Rip me and chip me
And watch me shine through the cracks.

Skin white like a new pearl,
Save me, engrave me
With your teeth, your fingers.

I want to be broken just so you can put me back together.
Fix me,
Love me,
Claim me as yours.
