Fragile Hearts
Facets, only fragments of me I will let you see,
remnants of my life, delicate and broken I keep locked inside, with
anguish and sad memories of lost love, I
grieve for my love under the cold earth, just a name engraved.
Inside me there is a heart, porcelain like glass, so don't come all
la-di-da and expect me to just fall in love with you,
easily, because I fear losing my heart, again.
Heartbroken and vulnerable I stand before you and my,
emotions are swirling and twirling within my
ailing eggshell soul and running from love is what I do, but I am,
ready to love a like-minded man, a kindred spirit, so
take this tattered soul and heal it, and take this,
shattered heart and hold it in your strong hands, my love.
