Less

my heart is thin 
I can't let you in 
fractures and slices 
from the pain of love's vices 
dulled to the feelings 
and the taste of what life is 
when a mutual eye 
says give hello a try 
I just start at the end 
and start with good bye 
to be fearless 
and tearless 
would be traits 
i'd hold dearest 
but sorrow and doubt 
are the things I have nearest 
of all joy i'm bereft 
empty and loveless 
the shell I have left 
my contents looted 
no risk of theft
