I Am Broken
My heart shattered
When you shut me out
I’m trying to repair it
But there’s pieces missing
A piece remains with my late husband
Who I will love ‘til the end of time
Some pieces went with my pugs
When they crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Yet with death, there’s acceptance
Because of the finality of it
You put the remaining pieces together
In a beautiful, yet fragile mosaic
In time, you allow yourself
To feel alive again
I got too close to you
And you shattered my mosaic
Despite my best efforts to let you go
You still have a piece of my heart
I’m trying to put the pieces back together
But they just don’t seem to fit
I have come to the realization that
I am broken
I need to find the glue
To hold the remnants together
