Monday Musings: Needle & Thread
Needle & Thread
How can I give a heart
that is damaged and broken?
I feel like he ignored the sign
that wound its way around
that plainly read “fragile”.
Stitches and band-aids,
these are temporary healers.
They will only be ripped out
or off, and my heart will cry
out in complaint.
I don’t expect anyone to
come to me with promises.
Promises to heal all that is wounded
and fix all that is broken is just
too much to ask.
I’ll take the needle and the
thread to just begin my work.
Maybe I can have this put back
together for someone who
deserves my heart.
The beginning lines of this poem remind me of lyrics from a Kelly Clarkson song, “My heart can’t possibly break / When it wasn’t even whole to start with”. I hope the speaker of this poem finds someone who deserves their heart 💜
I definitely identify with Kelly’s song, especially knowing that she wrote it about a parent. And I did find someone deserving of my heart. 🙂 Thank you for reading Jade. <3
