Filling Up The Cracks Poem by Michelle Dominique Augustyn

Broken hearts don't break,
They just crack.
These hearts need something,
Something to fill them up,
To pave over the crack
because the longer the crack remains,
the more it damages.
But, eventually the damage stops.
Time fills the crack
slowly, but softly.
Any broken heart will have broken,
But any broken heart
Will get glued back together.
It will not be the same as before,
No guarantees,
But it will be better
In a different way.
There will never be a totally filled crack,
But most of it will be filled.
It may not be smooth,
But it will be filled
And that is all that matters.
