Promised

I was once given
A music box made of
glass. It played the
most wonderful songs.
To some it sounded like
the sea, lapping against
sandy beaches and
the blue sky on the
other side of the ocean.
To others it sounded like
a mountain stream dancing
as it tangoed over rocks
and pirouetted down
the dirty banks.
The box looked like a
rainbow right after a storm
and felt like the clouds
that look like you could
hold them and eat them
like cotton candy.

But I dropped it.
and it shattered
Along with my hope
I tried to pick up
the shards, but they
cut me.
I bleed from my wrists
and my thighs
My tears were my lullaby

As the clock struck midnight
the Giver came. He held
my scared arms and cried
in tune with my heartbeat.
He whispered in my ear
"I still Love you"
and in the morning He was
gone, but He never really
left. He promised me,
He would fix what was
Broken
