Should one man’s trash
Be another man’s treasure
Surely I have need of
A junk man

A junk man to mend my heart
A junk man to make me whole

Should one eye’s ugly
Be another eye’s beauty
Truly I am seeking
A junk man

A junk man to heal my soul
A junk man to take me home

Pick me out of the junk pile
See me as beautiful
Love me for myself

Amen to what Old Egg said. Very sad and very beautiful, indeed.

Ah yass, someone to haul away the garbage called my love…

Finely tuned yearning – palpable with longing. Nice read!

I think this would make a good song! So many people could relate to it.

Something very touching about this. Lovely to read. Emotional.

Short and simple, but written so well as to convey your desire to be redeemed as whole and good and beautiful and not just a piece of “junk”. I really liked this!

What an interesting twist on the prompt. In search of a “junk man” to tend to this woman who has been discarded by others. Nicely done!

I know I read this once before and I can’t believe that I didn’t drop a comment then. I must have been distracted or very busy… This is an absolutely wonderful piece.

You were never “junk”. Nor will you every be.
