MY HEART

I gave you my fragile heart

I warned you to be careful

You snatched it from me

Turned it around in your hands

Appraising its value to you

You smashed it on the ground

Picked it up, and dusted it off

Gave my damaged heart back to me

"I was trying to ignore you," you admitted

As the first tear rolled down my cheek
