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
