Cracked

Have you heard
The sound
A heart makes
When it breaks
When it is shattered
And left
In shining shards
On a dusty floor?

Have you heard 
The sound
Of tears falling
When the pain
Can't be contained
And drops
Of anguish fall?

Have you heard
The sound
A soul makes
When it awakes
Like a precious
Gilded egg
Containing treasures
That can only be seen
Once the surface
Has cracked open?
