I crumbled
Not like a cookie that loses some of its sweetness on the counter
More like a sand castle kicked by a bully
Or worn down by waves and wind
The ruins scattered on the beach
You took my tears and the sand
Mixing them together in your kind hands
Kneading
Molding
You built me back and told me I was beautiful

A love story using vivid and relatable images. Well done!
Powerful built-in emotions and really memorable analogy choice with the sand castle.
Wow, that's suck. That's a deep analogy, to use to describe how you feel. Excellent poem.
