too often
when a heart cracks in half
it seeks out another broken heart
to make itself whole again
instead of
picking up its own pieces
and putting itself back together
or forging a new half for itself
it glues itself to a different half
the problem is
when the glue wears out in due time
those two mismatched halves break apart
and you are still half of a broken heart
so take that love that you so desire
and give it to yourself, to raise you higher
because love isn't two pieces of a broken heart
it is the enrichment that two whole hearts bring
