They say hearts get torn easily,
Like the fabric of those thin shirts you like to wear when it's hot outside,
and those tightly knit fibers that have been aligned and In sync since the day it was was strung together now seems feeble and fragile
And these young hearts like ours are torn from the wear and tear and get faded from getting washed from the tears and all the salt that comes from your heart being shattered to pieces,
Hearts like ours
quilted ones with different fabrics
Some soft some hard all have to be put back together like jigsaw puzzles and be made somewhat new again but not all the pieces fit together completely
See the complexity of a heart is that even the most calloused,hardened, scarred ones need to be filled with something.
The fractured missing from the whole get sown back together and redesigned to learn to deal with the pain they just experienced. And then the fabrics are made complete with safety pins to make sure the fabric stays pieced together in turmoil
See hearts like ours need safety pins like any other fabric in our life needs to be washed
Whether by hand or by beating and battering the crap out of it hearts like ours
Fragile hearts like ours need cleaning
And like any other well used fabric
hearts like ours fade and wrinkle and tear but they're still the same
Our hearts are still the same
