PICKING UP THE PIECES

By Barbara K

A Cheryl’s Pals Collab

Broken and tattered,

my emotions tossed aside,

worn, torn and exhausted,

I desperately try to recover

what’s left of me inside;

trying to collect

all the tears that I’ve shed,

gathering up the pieces

of what’s left to mend,

putting back together

fragments strewn about

of this broken heart

that seemed so battered

and torn apart

with no way to repair.

But as I begin to reassemble

this broken heart of mine,

splattered and shattered

and strewn about

in a manner so unkind,

I feel the soothing rain

as it gently soothes my soul

and I find the love

that smoothes the edges

of emotions rough and raw

as I pick up the pieces

one by one

and put them together,

sealing them with your love.
