Fragile

Have you ever just 
want something dear to you?
But scared it will break?
Even with just a wrong look?
I have so many times.
I look into the mirror
I see a face
Of pain and tears.
Even though it's smiling
It has been hurt so much.

As I reach to it,
I see it about to break.
I pull away quickly.
Now it sits there with a crack
Going down the middle.
I stare at it
No long able to cry
Throw away any feelings
And replace them
with blank spots.

It's time to say
Goodbye to the
One that makes us live.
It's time to lay down
And sleep forever.

That way the fragile heart
will no longer get hurt.
