shine through

she found him in a field
staring blankly at the sky
he's stared at it for so long
the stars were captured in his one eye

he was trully a sight to see
so broken up and torn
with a few hairs left and one good eye
half of his body was gone

"i used to be beautiful once, you know
now i am a shame to behold
i was perfect, shining and new
not broken, dull, torn and old"

"you're still beautiful to me," she said
but it only made him cry
she hushed him with sweet coos
and wiped the tears from his eye

she smiled and said to him
"i'll make you beautiful again"
then she tore open his chest
he screamed and screamed in pain

"trust me," she said to him
"let go of this broken body
and retreat back into your heart"
he had no choice but to obey quietly

his heart was cracked
but she carefully picked up every piece
each and every tiny shard
not one did she miss

with his heart in hand
she quickly ran home
with hurried feet and a hopeful heart
in an instant she was gone

she took the pieces of his heart
and tied them up with a string
as she worked with care and love
his heart began to sing

it started in a very low hum
and she hummed along with him
she then strung the pieces by the window
when the sun shone through, he gleamed!

rainbow lights danced across the room
and his song rang louder and louder
he was beautiful again
and it's all thanks to her

i had a previous poem that reffered to broken glasses as well but lately a dear friend of mine inspired me to write a more detailed one ^^ thank you baby bro!!
