Patchy Heart

would you rather
have a heart
unmarred,
unbroken,
untouched

or a heart
frayed at the edges
patched and stitched,
parts missing –
where you gave
pieces of it away…

showing character –
a heart
that has known
true love

from
the greatest pain
comes
experience
and wisdom.
no matter
how painful,
you will be rich.
