My Heart On a String.

My heart is waiting for the day, 
when you choose her over me. 

It knows it's going to fall,
                          
                                     crash,

                                               break, 

                                                          and 

                                                                 shatter. 


Even on this soft carpet floor.

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies when we have such anxiety, Travisti. Don't let this be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Talk about your concerns to the one you love. It may provide you some peace. My heart goes out to you. Your poem is genuinely moving. Best wishes, Carolyn
