Borrowed Pieces
There I was
heart broken in dozens of pieces
shards of shattered hopes and dreams
broken memories too hard to face
pieces of me disappearing without a trace
fearful I would never be whole again
And then you came
intertwined your arm in mine
bandaged the cuts on my hands
and showed me why
the broken pieces of your heart
somehow fit mine
And just like that
you gave me hope again
heart broken in dozens of pieces
shards of shattered hopes and dreams
broken memories too hard to face
pieces of me disappearing without a trace
fearful I would never be whole again
And then you came
intertwined your arm in mine
bandaged the cuts on my hands
and showed me why
the broken pieces of your heart
somehow fit mine
And just like that
you gave me hope again

Love the crispness of this ... the variation in stanza length ... creating its own building rhythm ... the last line is ... beautifully inevitable ...

That was really beautiful and sweet... I'm happy that you were able to find someone to help you patch the pieces up and become whole again :)

Sometimes in order to uphold the law you have to break it. Sometimes in order to truly find your self you need to venture into the darkness without a guide. To learn how to trust is to be betrayed, to understand love requires to be broken.
The purity we have at birth is far too powerful a thing to comprehend in this mortal world, only those who manage to retain a single piece if it have the will to make through to the bitter end, placed into the bony hand of the Reaper as payment for his services.
The Earth is a garden of wonder, at times its a giant boxing ring. There are those who will leave you broken and there are those who will gather the pieces and lovingly place them back together, and find you more beautiful than you ever were before. A damaged heart can be fatal to some, but to the one who put you back together comes the greatest reward for the sufferings you faced, that there's far more room in a broken heart than there ever was before.
