The Most Beautiful Thing

She kept her heart placed on her sleeve  
Unaware it was the most beautiful thing   
 
Specters stared as she walked by   
No tears
Nor fears         
In her innocently naive eyes...      
       
She had a blind-spot a mile wide...      
She didn't see the signs...  
       
How could she have known  
His heart didn't work like her own
 
So when her perfectly placed heart broke        
Pieces of it flew into the world...
 
It was the most beautiful thing   
       
Constellations that could light up nations
Just some of the wonders kept locked inside       
Now broken open  
After sipping love's potion      
A path to rise was surely chosen     
       
Now she finds pieces of her heart        
Spread along the shores...
And in unfamiliar places        
She'd never been before...    
 
Each time re-stitching stars...   
Each time collecting shards...     
Each time raising the bar...      
 
It was the most beautiful thing       
       
Though it will never be what it was before        
Her heart remains placed on her sleeve   
-Forever more
She loves like an open door  
 
And it's The Most Beautiful Thing
