Sparkle

 














I broke into a million pieces
And no matter how many times I reworked the puzzle
No matter how long I waited to get a better perspective
It became clear part of me was missing
I’m almost sure someone found it once
He looked at me in a way
That made my heart and stomach flip
He told me I sparkled
But I didn’t know how to live that way anymore
And I let it slip away
Like a star when it sees the sun.
