Hit me hard and break my heart into a million pieces
Cause only then will you see how much its worth
Don't settle for a dozen scraps, a hundred, or a thousand
Strike with passion and leave a mess upon the earth

Then watch me as I pick up every piece that was scattered,
From the loftiest clouds they perched, and crevices they slipped
Now take them from my hand and hold it in yours all together
And feel the weight of the million pieces that you had ripped

I want you to see how they still mold and form the same original shape
How a million pieces could be reattached and still reveal a heart
Yet, do not mistake their lightness for instability or lack of focus
They can also be diamond tough; my soul is the fortress, while it, the rampart

Its not some plastic easter egg thats only as good as its design
Not a false brittle shell, with a hollow and empty core
Each piece accounts apiece, a full apple with no worm
Every heartbreak meant to make it, love even better, than before

So if you're looking for commitment, let that be the trial
I'm not promising it'd be easy, it can only be worth the pain
It's only in shattered hearts, that subtle thoughts are brought to light
Neither the first nor the last, but I'd repeat it all the same,

*If you're the one I'm about to gain.
Some heartbreaks can be devastating. Some are harder to recover, as some pieces flung farther are tough to find. You'll eventually pick the pieces of you heart all together again, it might just take a lot of time. The purpose of this poem was to shed a more positive light on that feeling. Heartbreaks remind me how human I am. I'm a sucker for that feeling, for shrapnels in my heart.

hollowings
My thoughts are the slots
Put a coin in to play
Two pennies for some sense
Since the banks recompense
the poor sitting on a lower shelf
The rich are empty, lost themselves
Attached to puppet strings
Pulled up by faceless masters
faster full of things
Stop. Cut your strings.
Sell the loans and mortgage debts
Escape the ensnaring nets
Look. Now you’re free.

Fear is free just look at me
Im stuck inside with my soul to hide
a sinful slip up ups my chance
My tongue is doing the liars dance
Two toes on point, or into finger guns?
That’s the one that I still fear
the freedom to do, drive the car, yes steer.
Drive away or drive by
to these feeling on the sidelines
second string emotions turn
with stinging motions. Burn
my offing notions with a note
not a hundred grand but a modicum
I lay in my bed try to sleep, feeling none.


The slots spun a short win
when I put my two cents in.
Now the lump sum is sitting dumb
My thoughts are dimmer
I’m the loss when I’m the winner.
if only
the heart was made of
elastic materials
then just maybe
it will only bend
than
break

I'll never forget the time I met you
I wasn't sure about what I have felt
Feelings started to rise without a clue
And these was the time I began to melt

With the pass of time you became my friend
We hang out twice having a good affair
We both had same feelings making us bend
Although it was years ago I still care

Right now we are two completely strangers
Trying to pretend that nothing happened
My heart still wanting you, it's in danger
I moved on but leaving a chance opened

I will always love you even to fend
I will always love you until the end
You told me back then that its fine because its over,
And everything that happened should be all in the past.
Then why is it now, that every time we pass each other,
You'd make me feel like, that conversation was our last?

I admit that I, myself, didn't offer you my everything,
And that the chase I gave, wasn't even barely a run.
But how could I sprint, when your signs were confusing?
And the I Love You's you gave, all came out undone.

So it turns out that the rain, didn't properly end.
And puddles still form, from small drops that remain.
Those sunny skies of blue were all just make pretend;
Like parts of the weather forecast, that you failed to explain.

Second chance is a slot machine, and I'm running out of change.
So I'll drop my last coin, under the score of my name.
Because the next time we meet, either the spin goes out of range,
Or the coin comes back out, and it was all just a game.
This is actually about something thats happened to me in the past. It was when invested my heart in the wrong bank. I hope you like it :)
