Pieces of Me

If I keep
All the bits
Of me
Will you value them?

If I keep
All the pieces,
Treasured by me, and
By my mother
Would you love them?

If I submit myself
To you
A willing sacrifice
Will you shelter me, in love

Or
Dash me
To fragments
On the altar of your angry discontent?

Will all the pieces of me
Rise up,
Realign
One day to become again
This heart, that’s mine?
