I want you to feel like I do

But you don't see

The beauty I see in broken parts

Put back together to form a brand new heart

A new start

Take my

Pieces of glass, shattered past on the ground

China in the cabinet

Prettier sounding when it's smashed

Scratch up the hardwood floor that your mother loves

Funny how it's all you ever really wanted

You wanted

To hear what chaos feels like

To taste that bitter dark blue that's been haunting you

Pour it in your cup every morning

I need you to be my lean-to

So I can heal

This cracking shell can be so God damn fragile

I still bear the shrapnel from the last ordeal

But some nights

Broken shards catch the starlight and glow

Shimmering scars turn to platinum and silver and gold

Closing my eyes to the beauty of it all

Funny how it's all I ever really wanted

(I want it all)

Mend me like a riptide

Stitch from green to blue

Sew open these wide eyes

Waking with the dew
