A Broken Heart

I am a broken heart By you I was shattered So I tried to take back my power By sharpening the shards But as time went on My pieces began healing From hard glass , to soft flesh Bound together and beating And I almost felt shamed By my lack of transformation By becoming hard , but then soft again While others become lethal But then I think again Which is worse to have ? A heart broken , or a mind twisted ? "A heart broken ", I answer , "Because broken glass is easier to glue together Than a tangle of yarn is to untwist." And while I'm a healing heart , love , you're stuck with your own mentality Unless you let God untwist the threads . And that is a good reason to be soft . That is a reason to not be lethal .
