Burnished Eggshell

Pale and Fragile
My soul is vulnerable
Like an egg

The contents within
So much potential
Carefully pliable

You found it
Sunk in the oceans
of tears

Guarded by
the walls
of distance

You still cared

You promised you'd never leave

and gave back my shine

A burnished eggshell
My soul is with you.
