"Stitches"

A Broken Heart,

       Shattered years ago.

Slowly piecing itself together.

       Mistakes made. Lessons Learned.

       I Hope.

Beginning to Trust and Love again.

The stitches there,

       Became easy to tear.

Trusted. Loved.

       Lost.

His Heart mirroring mine.

       He needs Himself for Him right now.

I need Him for Me right now.

       Healing takes its various forms.

His healing breaks me.

A Broken Heart once more.

Slowly piecing itself together.

       Please no more mistakes to be made.

Am I doing the right thing?

Am I ready to move forward?

Can I?

       Every move in that direction,

       Coupled with a tear in my eye,

And a swelling in my heart.

The stitches there,

       On the way to repair?
