Heartbroken is Love's Token
Hearts must break to earn the token.
That love is tired and too softly spoken.
How else can a hurting heart bleed,
to reveal it’s overlooked and in need?
Gathering the pieces, starting anew.
is what helps true love pull through,
the slime and sludge of dreariness,
weighing the heart down with weariness.
Use the token, buy a sweet potion.
A balm to reset the heart in motion.
To lift its beat to quiver anew,
at what love's expectation can do.
Hearts don't have unbreakable skin.
Cracks let healing light get in.
They show you where to mend,
the wounds, to remake an old friend.
Don't hide the loss and grief
Cover with lacquer, and gold leaf,
Showing how the once heartbroken,
can become Kintsugi - love's token.
