how it begins

you need to look in the eyes
of the person who broke you,
even if that person was yourself

-

rose

when roses grow from the
concrete,
they are cut down
but when they grow back, they are
more beautiful
than ever.

-

he

he looked you in the eye
and you danced
but when you took off your
pointe shoes,
they were full of blood

kintsugi

the night
you left
i shattered
every dish
and my own
heart
and then
mended it in gold

-

whatever

whatever hurt you
can no longer
touch you
because i
am here
