Deeply Heart

I was born with a

fragile heart

It’s see-through

almost glass

Which is why you can see

Every emotion on my face

No matter what angle you look at me

It’s shaped like a football

Because it gets thrown

Around more than it can handle

And every time it’s not

Caught it hits the floor

But it doesn’t break

It slightly cracks

The first time it happened it was such a minor detail

I didn’t even notice

But each time it falls the cracks grow larger

I quickly learned that there’s no phone screen

Repair for your heart

So when the cracks got large enough I had to

Create a fortress around it

A glass castle with one thing inside

A healing heart
