Wounded by life
You stand broken;
Heart shattered
Into a thousand pieces

I know you are
Not the kind of
Person to ask
For help but let
Me give it to you
Anyway

Let me put you
Back together
Piece by piece

Let me broaden that smile
Let me glue your confidence back
Let me stick joy in your body
Let me match your skin with bright sunlight

Let me throw away
All the unnecessary pieces

Let me wipe those tears
Let me remove damaging thoughts from your head
Let me cast away your fears
Let me discard your insecurities
Let me remind you how beautiful and whole you can be

Let me complete the jigsaw that is You

I painted the sky
With your favourite
Shade of blue

Adorned it with
Bright little flickers
Of light
Arranging them into
A constellation
Manifesting your face
With a smile
Running ‘cross

Scattered the sun-gorging
Clouds across the expanse

Commanded the moon
To glow brighter
Than it has ever done before
To emanate cool silver
Moonlight gently
Pouring on your skin

I moved and laid
Heavens
For you

This poem is based on the Red Thread of Fate, a belief originating from Chinese mythology. It is commonly thought of as an invisible cord wrapped around the finger of two lovers who are destined to meet each other. The cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.
