Porcelain Heart

My heart is made of Porcelain It is weak It is breakable Cracked from the past It is delicate Surprising Something so Fragile Could still be With the weight of the world upon it It continues to break. You hold it together a temporary bond Nothing is permeate All good things must fade I will slip from your hands one day And fall Unto my fate. Crack. Pain has taken its toll on me This porcelain heart Hallow Empty A vacuum of pain waiting Waiting to be filled. Crack. Only a few more to finish Should not take long Somethings don’t change Why would they This world filled with hate Adds more weight upon my shattered heart Crack. Miserable I fall The tears fill my heart Only to leak through the cracks And then.. A new feeling Not pain Not sadness But love Love filled up my heart It does not fade nor does it slip through the cracks I am whole I am loved. But how long will it last, this feeling of love? After all nothing is permeate Even the brightest star must burn out Where is my disappointment Where is my pain Nothing is familiar anymore Lost confused This new emotion makes no sense This love you give me Overwhelms me I am undeserving. But I am greedy I only want more of this “Love” I reach out towards you So close I can almost touch you But this porcelain ground, It is weak Cracked I fall through My heart is made of porcelain… And it shatters Crack.
