Teacup Heart
Love is energy is water
Inside my teacup heart
It begs for me to share what's here
To shape the light from dark
But just about some time ago
It slipped out from my fingers
And now I search on hands and knees
For fragments of my shimmer
What you need to understand
What I now need you to see
Is I'm still mending, far from whole
And I'm gluing piece by piece
Sometimes I feel full
And start giving it away
But that's the trick of a broken cup
It no longer works that way
My edges don't stand tall
They're jagged and uneven
So even if I'm holding steady
Look closer, and I'm leaking
If you drink before I'm done
If you have no restraint
I promise that you'll cut your lip
And I can't ease the pain
It's not a simple task
Putting a teacup back together
Even more when your thirst is dry
And all you were was shattered
One day these cracks will dry
And you'll see them cased in gold
I can overflow again
Without the fear that I won't hold
But I cannot wish it so
It will take how long it takes
In time I will learn to blend
The happy and the ache
