My heart splits and shatters
Not two pieces
Not three
A million tiny painful shards
Each stab into my arms and legs
Creating cuts and dark bruises
Irritating my skin
Turning it red
Painful
Bleeding
Red
I’m scared
Will this be my demise?
Slowly drowning in red until I can no longer see my skin?
I scream out for help
For someone
A
N
Y
O
N
E
To help me
There are so many people who’ve hurt me
Unintentionally or intentionally
That scares me
The uncertainty of it all
I don’t know who I’ll fall for
Or if I’ve even fallen at all
Maybe it’s because I’m a child
Or maybe
Just maybe
I’m an idiot who's fallen head over heels for you in the most foolish way
