Jagged Edges

Pain, anguish, hurting

Fill in the cracks of my soul

Giving me cement

To hold myself together

~

Joy, love, laughter

Fill in the cracks of her soul

Giving her cement

To hold herself together

~

Two people

Two different souls

Shaped by the same events

Holding themselves together

~

Two hearts

That share the same world

But both are two different worlds

As they barely hold together

~

His pain is his strength

But also the bitterness

That makes his soul raw and rough

Cutting those who want to touch

~

Her love is her strength

But her laughter

Make the jagged pieces of her soul

That she wants no one to see

~

A chance encounter

In two different worlds

A bumped shoulder and touched hand

Suddenly the worlds become one

~

Her laughter becomes real

His soul begins to heal

Slowly their jagged edges meld

Creating a brand new soul

~
