Hit me hard and break my heart into a million pieces Cause only then will you see how much its worth Don't settle for a dozen scraps, a hundred, or a thousand Strike with passion and leave a mess upon the earth
Then watch me as I pick up every piece that was scattered, From the loftiest clouds they perched, and crevices they slipped Now take them from my hand and hold it in yours all together And feel the weight of the million pieces that you had ripped
I want you to see how they still mold and form the same original shape How a million pieces could be reattached and still reveal a heart Yet, do not mistake their lightness for instability or lack of focus They can also be diamond tough; my soul is the fortress, while it, the rampart
Its not some plastic easter egg thats only as good as its design Not a false brittle shell, with a hollow and empty core Each piece accounts apiece, a full apple with no worm Every heartbreak meant to make it, love even better, than before
So if you're looking for commitment, let that be the trial I'm not promising it'd be easy, it can only be worth the pain It's only in shattered hearts, that subtle thoughts are brought to light Neither the first nor the last, but I'd repeat it all the same,
*If you're the one I'm about to gain.
Some heartbreaks can be devastating. Some are harder to recover, as some pieces flung farther are tough to find. You'll eventually pick the pieces of you heart all together again, it might just take a lot of time. The purpose of this poem was to shed a more positive light on that feeling. Heartbreaks remind me how human I am. I'm a sucker for that feeling, for shrapnels in my heart.
