The heart is a fragile thing
to play with
so be careful with it
it can break easily
when it does
the world feels like it’s crashing down
and like nothing can stop it
world’s bend and break
stars fall
and nothing can catch them

The heart is a fragile thing
to play with
so be careful when handling it
they’re usually made of shards
broke pieces of you
not letting them fall
be careful not to get stabbed
sadness radiates from them
only those who are sad can hold them

Oh the heart is a fragile thing
to play with
so be careful when building walls
people tend to break them down
ripping and tearing
stomping and kicking
trying to see what your heart looks like
make the walls sturdy
of iron and brick
not paper and glue
walls made to withstand hurricanes
to prevent a broken heart
for hearts are easily broken by
a simple smile
a contagious laugh
an affectionate hug
a meaningful touch
a sarcastic comment
a sad poem
things never meant to break hearts

Yes the heart is a fragile thing
most people are scared of breaking it
broken hearts aren’t always bad
they lead to
learning to live with oneself
and learning to deal with it all
and working to find happiness
in the darkest of moments
and a broken heart leads to other things
things not often found
like
first loves
and unrequited love
and stronger people
and happier endings
and better outcomes
and dreams long lived
and smiling people
and books unread
and works of art
and classical music

Then

In the middle of it all
comes a sarcastic

boy
