Death Shatter

The sound was  unmistakable: 
   glass   splintering   
   on the tile floor. 

T'was my  heart  
she   slipped away  again
   breaking into  innumerable
slivered   fragments of love.

perhaps
one  should have
   a plastic  heart 
   that would  not shatter 
from Death’s  hard  blows.
