Stained Glass Heart

Have you ever held a heart as it breaks
shatters under the weight
of the most genuine of apologies.

Have you ever had to tell her
you can't be, no matter your desire
that the rhythm of your hearts don't beat in time.

Every heart beat takes you further from the past
your broken heart like stained glass
held together by scars, yet your beauty shines true.

Forgive me for this shard of heart I took from you
I pray only you keep the part of mine I gave to you
for this piece of you, forever, is within me.
