Picture Perfect

The jagged edges

of her brokenness

fit the zig-zagged

lines of all the times

I fell and was

made whole again

My puzzle's

missing piece

Picture perfect

iodine on a scraped

knee, a sensation

captured by a gentle

breeze, sometimes

love is nothing

more than pain

being replaced

by a beautiful scar;

if you trace the

lines across

porcelain faces

do the cracks

in the facade

feel fantastical

or real?

Hard to believe

her jagged edges

and my zig-zagged

lines could from

such a beautiful

rendition of all the things

I was missing
