He tinkered here and there
He could mend a wing and find a prayer
He could fix almost any broken heart with a wink and a smile
And no one every noticed that his soul was drowning
Within the sea of tears trapped within his eyes
Or that his heart didn't beat or pulse quite right
He could fix almost anything
Except for the parts of him
That missed the broken pieces that once were hers
Before he used a wink and a smile on her heart to mend its wings
And watch it fly away on a prayer for better days
