Glass hearts can only break after falling... And they know that, but they fall anyway, Counting the time between gravity and the earth so that they could make every second of their wholeness count. They've lived lifetimes in that space, Not succumbing to the laws of physics because science didn't teach you how to love when all hope was lost. It was instinct. It was soul. It was whatever existed beyond shape.. Beyond form, Beyond glass shells that could undoubtedly be put back together. Changing shape forever. Missing pieces forever. Imperfect forever and ever.
