Stealing Brilliance

My brilliance lied dormant (until you untied it) And stole it from my heart (glimmering rays of silver sparkle) I felt the knot untwisting while you tugged lightly, as if to say... "bows can be tied again, but hearts can never be without some scar tissue" When you untied me- You unleashed vast quantities [of] adoration kindness willingness and care As you tied me back- You held onto pieces of [my] shimmer shine light and love Capable hands always need capable strings Can we build Jacob's ladder with the strings of my heart and yours? That way I can climb through the door of your soul, and steal your brilliance too....
