Kintsugi (fair weathered friend)

I am a frantic girl
An eyelash on the dash 
You kissed me hard
In a public place
But oh how you’ve betrayed me,
My fair weathered friend. 
One day a soul shall seek my ghost
And my children’s children will tell my tale 
How my heart was too smashed 
How my crazy turned to stone 
And all that once made me special 
Just made me unstable 
Missing a leg
A useless table
A yard sale fail
My grandmother told me once
That all my scars would make me beautiful. 
Like a Japanese vase 
Patched with gold 
Healed with love
For there is a bee for every flower
But she was just a fair weathered gal
Another fish in the barrel 
Another muddy trail.
