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…
