The Broken Octagon

Disclaimer: The post is completely imaginary. It is merely an interpretation of the photograph.

The building had an octagonal glass pyramid for a roof. The sun filled every corner of the interiors through this glass ceiling.

One day, for a reason nobody knows, a section of glass on the ceiling broke and pieces of glass came down like sparkling stars.

The ceiling was repaired - the glass was fixed again. They could not find a piece of the same colour though. So, though you could not make out the difference from an angle, when you stood right under the ceiling and looked upwards, you could see a part of the ceiling to be of a different colour (the picture.).

Heartbreaks occur. We heal them all. People look at us from different angles - not many of them manage to notice the mended hearts. 

The very few who look straight into our heart, however, notice the broken octagon in the heart. Something that perhaps will never be perfect again...
