My brilliance lied dormant
(until you untied it)
And stole it from my heart
(glimmering rays of silver sparkle)

I felt the knot untwisting while you
tugged lightly, as if to say...

"bows can be tied again, but hearts
can never be without some scar tissue"

When you untied me-
You unleashed vast quantities
[of]

adoration
kindness
willingness
and
care

As you tied me back-
You held onto pieces of
[my]

shimmer
shine
light
and
love

Capable hands always need
capable strings

Can we build Jacob's ladder
with the strings of my heart
and yours?

That way I can climb through
the door of your soul, and steal
your brilliance too....
