#dented
My pen is my shield,
and my words
my armour.

"Did you fall for the brains?"
No. I fell for his soul. I fell for the person behind the facade. I fell for his cries behind smiles. I fell for his pains behind jokes.
It was beautiful - falling for someone who is as dented as you are.

I was dropped...
And now thought to be broken
But I'm still in one piece
However, now dented
But even broken and dented things can be fixed a mended

I could not find what I was looking for; the confectionary
Sugar shaker that My Gramma said that I could have
When she passed on. The story goes:
My Gramma had
Got hers as a wedding gift.
My Nana had the same, exact
Sugar shaker. My Gramma had “promised herself”
That the top would not get dented,
Like Nana’s. But, alas,
The sugar shaker did get dented at the top.
And my Gramma had verbally said that I could have it,
After she had passed on, then, when I had asked, at the age of twelve.
It would have been, technically,
Three generations of a sugar shaker being passed on,
But, alas, it will be none.
