My Fragile Heart
My fragile heart was splintered by shards of glass
The trauma of my ex leaving without a word had cut so deeply
I didn’t want anyone else in my life
My whole world was in

Many months passed and we met on a balmy summer evening in June
The attraction was instant …
But your huge blue eyes contained a sadness, which mirrored my own
Neither of us wanted to make the same mistake again
We’d both been hurt before
Slowly ever so slowly the bond of trust grew between us
And as time passed we became inseparable
That Christmas you presented me with a box
I was intrigued as it was far too big for a ring
Cautiously I opened it
Laying on the purple velvet were two identical gold chains …
at the end of each chain was a jigsaw piece - they fitted together perfectly!
At that moment I knew I’d found my soulmate for life
We placed the chains around each-others neck
Where they remain to this very day
