Beautiful Broken Man...

Don't you know...

That if I could be the weather man for just one day, I would make the sun shine bright for you, complete with the full spectrum of the rainbow?

That if I were an optician, I'd take the scale out of your eyes so you could see the beauty around you?

That if I were I a musician, I'd write you the most beautiful song and add the melody to take your pain away?

That if I were a surgeon, I'd give you a child's heart so you could learn to trust again?

That if I were a military sergeant, I would make you put down this shield that you hang on to so tight, so everyone could see your own beauty?

That if I were a time traveler, I'd take back those 72 steps that led me to the airport terminal on that January evening, 8yrs ago?

That if I were a herbalist, I'd conjure up some complicated concoction to purge you of this pain?

That if I were a gifted writer, I'd write you the most beautiful words to make you understand? I have to make you understand somehow..

For now, all I am is the woman who has caused you pain beyond measure. The one who painted your world beautiful like a cool spring day complete with butterflies, resting calmly on rare flowers, like the most genuine smile from someone who loves you, like a thousand butterflies erupted in your belly with a first kiss, like seeing the face of your first child, like winning the lottery after being broke for so long...Then I ripped your heart out, and left you hollow. Wreaking havoc on your beautiful canvas.

I hope that someway, I can make you understand that I never meant to cause you any pain. Life however had other plans.

I hope someday, you find that peace and someone puts the color back in your life. That she mends the many beautiful pieces of you, my beautiful broken man.

The End.

For some reason, this reminded me of India Arie's "Complicated Melody." I don't know if you are the one who did the breaking of this beautiful man. I do know that this was beautiful.
