The Healer’s Daughter

Thunder roared through her eyes

As lightning cracked his heart

Piece by piece she picked the shattered glass

Healing each crack with her golden tears

She touched him with her fingers,

Delicately smoothed the edges of the glassy shards

Holding together in the well of her palms

Mending every corner of his glass heart

The daughter of a healer

Kintsugi was in her blood

And finally the day came

When his heart beat again

Like a mirror it reflected love

Alas, it wasn’t her face...
