Here’s my heart
or, at least a piece of it.
Take it; I’m giving it to you.
Please don’t tear it.
Why won’t I give you my whole heart? Because I
don’t want you to see the imperfections, the cuts
and tears from the others
before you.
I can sense that you’re different
but I’ve said that about others.
He said he wouldn’t tear it.
She said she wouldn’t crush it.
Here’s my heart
or, at least a piece of it.
This piece is untouched,
undamaged.
Here’s my heart
or, at least a piece of it.
This is the last piece I have.
Please don’t tear it.
