although you are very
small and your kind have
existed in the universe
for only a short time,
you are an important part
of something very large
and exquisitely beautiful

you crept through the walls
in my heart and you
tore it open with your picky
little fiddling fingers
oh god how could you?
~
you snapped the little piece
of me id looked after
so carefully for all of these
years and now look where
we are, how could you?
