This Heart

This heart has holes It is more work than most Riddled with leaks Tough to keep full It has been mistreated Not handled with care They have not been careful They don't understand Neglecting its beauty Avoiding its tenderness It has been broken Cracks in every location Not whole like it was meant to be Pieced hastily together The fragments don't fit Temporary solutions Attempting to live on So hidden away Bruises can be covered Imperfections are secrets Do not let them see it Do not let them near Pretend its ok Someone to mend Someone to help Someone to understand Someone to care Someone to heal Letting them is dangerous Outcomes unknown Risking everything Wounded and bleeding Craving relief They fill without warning So hard to resist them Happiness comes quick Release from pain Instantly converted Seeing the solutions Wanting to believe Overflowing but leaking Don't allow it to drain Empty is broken Be careful this time Help it to heal Once and forever No more temporary fixes Ever watchful Notice the changes So beautiful Love is required Holding soft and so tight Never ever release Letting go devastates Reversal of progress The filling is fast Just keep it full always Empty is painful The cracks are so fragile Each time is worse Shattered a bit more Many attempts have failed Cutting wounds even further This heart wants to be whole Longing for healing Wishing it true They'll need strength to endure It may never be perfect Might always have scars There is not another like it This is a special heart Cling to it's guardian Forever loyal forever true Deeper than any other It gives all its love to the one who will save it
