I once had a whole heart
That was molested,
Torn apart into two
                      Sep
                            arate individuals
Where the left side used to kiss my feet and
The right used to curse her sister.

But then, someone stole the obsequious -
The amiable with her mirth!
And then I was left sparse
Because of all the valuable,
Why the softest core and not the
Toughest crust?

And from then on,
Tears fossilized inside my eyes
For they never touched the warmth of my cheeks,
My tongue slithered
No longer for your hands
But to halt mine,
And only my lips caressed
The safety of this remnant -
This,
This scarce, frozen heart -
For it has only but one lost
Soul to handle:
Me.
