Baylee

Together

 

“Darling

your heart is safe

in these hands of mine”

 

I cannot give it to you whole

for all I have left to give

are the bits and shreds

I’ve swept up along the way

 

Fix them,

she pleaded,

eyes shining;

Sew the brokenness away

 

“Oh, my love

I can hand you the needle and thread

but it is only you

who can sew the fractured pieces

together.”
