a shattered vase

why must everything be perfect
to an imperfect mind?
an imperfect soul?

why must i love her
love you, love me
if there is nothing to grasp onto?

through the cracks
the flaws
i see it!

just as a damaged vase with all of its fragments
still mends together
our flaws do too.

split our soul into a thousand parts
and every piece is still as recognizable
as part of a whole identity.

our flaws hint at a grander scheme
grander than i know
do i know?

does it matter?
