Her Tears like Razors

You Stand Before me
With pieces in your hands
your scars cut deep down in your soul
emotions that overwhelm you

. . .Drowning in your pain

Your wings are dusty,
and your halo is black
your tears are razors
running down my heart

my sister

my friend

so beautiful
and so free
I will put you back together again.

Author notes

For a Friend. She knows Who she is. And I Love her like family.

This has got a lot of emotive imagery in it (an angel - even humpty dumpty at the end) and the sentiment is beautiful. The line, 'your tears are razors/running down my heart' is particularly brilliant.

God you know how to bring a tear to my eye. If I weren't at the library I'd be balling. The only thing I can think of to say is......THANK YOU!!!!
