My heart

Cracked like an egg

When you didn’t show.

I tasted my emotions

One last time

Before I said goodbye.

I may see you again

But I won’t feel

Like I did that night.

It’s too much trouble

To continually rebuild

The walls around my heart.

I’ll just leave it

Broken into bits

Too tiny to feel.

If I’m lucky,

Someone will grind them into the dirt,

And I won’t be able to find them.

It’s a vain hope,

But it gives me joy

And some despair.

I hope it stays

Broken

Forever.
