This heart that beats
that loves and wants
and grows beyond the
boundaries of my being
It reaches it out,
but takes everything in
It wants all and holds – so tightly
So tightly.
That the strength to grasp
becomes its fragility
And the power it takes
To reach out
Becomes timidity
when the object of my yearning
Recklessly allows this tender
Heart to fall
And the shards that remain
Cut and slice
Away at the rest of me
Trying to put it back
In its place
