Hammer

 The hammer once wielded

To shatter this cold, hopeless heart

To be rebuilt with two


The hammer that built a life

With every imperfect and twisted board

Held together with such fragile nails


The hammer

 The worn handle

The bent claws

The scarred head


The hammer that so fiercely

Tore it all down

To build it all back

warmer

Stronger

Bigger


That hammer

That has stood the test

Through hell itself


That hammer passed down

Called upon again

To shatter this old, aging heart


The heart

Not warm enough

Not strong enough 

Not big enough


This hammer must fiercely

Tear this heart down

To build it all back

Warmer

Stronger

Bigger


Where there used to be room

For barely one

Then two

Three

Four


This hammer

That has stood the test

Needs to build room for more
