Fragile Heart

Facets, only fragments of me I will let you see, sad remnants of my life, delicate and broken I keep locked inside; with anguish and sad memories of lost love- oh I, still lament for my true love under the cold earth. And inside me there is a heart of porcelain like glass- so don't come all, la-di-da and expect me to just fall in love with you, so easily; because I fear, fear, and dread losing my heart again- Yet, heartbroken and vulnerable- I stand before you with my, deep emotions swirling and twirling within my ailing eggshell soul; you see, running from love is what I do- and I am good at it but I am ready to love a kindred spirit like you, so please; take this tattered soul and heal it, and take this shattered heart, and hold me in your strong arms and just love me- ______________________ October 15, 2016 Poetry/Verse/Fragile Heart Copyright Protected, ID 16-1152-163-0 All Rights Reserved.

They have been warned now. All they have to do is read this part: "there is a heart of porcelain like glass- so don't come all, la-di-da and expect me to just fall in love with you, so easily; " Adorable!

You open up like a flower in this and show how fragile you are. Very brave. Skillful too.The essence of fine poetry. Authentic. But on a lighter note - I don't think I've ever seen "la-di-da" ever, ever written before. (Certainly not in a poem). Sure, heard it lots but never written. Congrats, like Shakespeare you've added a phrase to the language. Just sayin'.
