May 2020
Carefully arranging your
glistening pink shards
To create a masterpiece
Of colorful glass
decorating my soul

All the shattered pieces you loathe in your self
Shine brightly to me
I hang them up for all the world to see
We have nothing to hide

But most of all, I want to cut you open
Peeling *Layer by layer
Revealing the secrets of you
That you have yet to whisper to anyone
And only in pain can you reveal

Wrap them in fine silk
Place them in a vault*
Stashed ** safely where only we can find
I'll never let them go

Hidden ****** secrets, the pain
The parts we hide
Trust so binding
Powerful
Overwhelming
It's love
But to free it for the world to see
A rare gem indeed.
We all are guilty of hiding something from the world.  It's a special kind of love and admiration for someone to see through all the things we don't like about us for fear of persecution.
