Kaleidoscope. (a poem)

 His grey eyes fixed on mine

Not understanding my heart

Not comprehending my reason


He asked, and I listened

"How can you love me?

How could you even?"


Words were there but lost

Between my gaze and soul

Words were not enough


"I'm broken, he said.

Completely without anything

I'm not who you think I am"


"You are broken," I answered

"Not like an umbrella 

One would cast away if so,


"You are broken like stained glass

Which after it is gathered

Becomes a Kaleidoscope"
