Incandescent light bulbs,
when they share their love,
it tends to light up a room.
As for pieces of broken mirrors,
they're really just smaller new ones
awash with life experience.
So, when you told me
that you were broken
I begged to differ.
The difference between
a broken lightbulb
and a dead one
is simply shattered glass,
and the difference between
a broken mirror
and a dead one
is the person looking in it.
So please,
you may be broken,
but without you
I have no light,
and mirrors are useless
in the dark.
