Bittersweet

Joy is the name I'm giving you today.
A bittersweet event unfolds.
The pieces that broke you apart
make me whole.
And I smile,
though I see the blood on his hands
from when he murdered the trust 
between you. 
I understand,
though you will never know
and I am doubtful
you ever will. 
There is blood on my hands too,
from the smile I wear
in your misery. 
I conceal the knife
with honey coated words
to heal your broken parts.
But a fruitless effort it is, 
for I've taken your pieces
to fix mine.
