How Fragile Is the Heart
How fragile is the heart that loves;
that stands out naked, unafraid,
and takes a chance to share it all
with deep emotions spent, displayed.
How fragile is the heart that gives
above, beyond what is required;
but sometimes, that is not enough
for what's expected and desired.
How fragile is the heart that hurts
when others take for granted deeds,
and barely notice, since those fill
their simple, ordinary, needs.
How fragile is the heart that cries
when empty with no love returned.
How can this be...a heart that gives
still feels that love is so unearned.
