with a heart
as sensitive as yours
you can never be too safe

as gentle as a butterfly
and as fragile as a flower

i kiss your cheek
as if i am kissing the soft spot
on a newborn baby's head

and blessed is the woman
to touch you as if you are made of glass

i wanted to stay
but you didn't want the same

so i ripped the wings off the butterflies
and tore the flower petals off one by one
and i dropped your heart from my window
so it shattered into a million pieces

and i hope you felt every bit of it
