Kintsugi

Broken, repaired,
Beautiful, because I dared. 
Shattered when I fell, through the abysmal hole, 
Someone cared enough- so she made me whole. 

Pieces picked warily, I could have hurt her,
My edges were sharp - that didn't deter.
She gently applied, a healing balm, 
Mixing gold with lacquer- without qualm. 
 
Can an earthen being, deserve such grace,
Have I lost my identity- with gold on my face? 
The scars and fissures, I could have worn with pride,
I've traded for her art-  I have nowhere to hide. 

Thanks for putting me back again, I'm as fragile as ever, 
I might have become more charming, but I have lost my innocence forever.
