You were new and unguarded,
Thoughtlessly discarded -
You gave yourself for what?
Broken and badly shaken,
Used once and forsaken,
You could only cut.
A lifetime later, found, -
Your sharp edges were round,
Gorgeous as a pearl,
A woman so diff'rent than
One mistreated by a man -
That shattered, sharp-edged girl.
It must be a gripping tale.
I wish to know each detail -
How you became a queen.
What happened, I'd like to know,
But your beauty does not show
Those long years in-between.
