your heart
made up of thin strings
they hang out in the open
catching on all you pass by
out in the open for people to tug on.
your heart
made up of thin strings
strings i will never cut
strings i will never pull
strings i will caress with gentle hands
your heart
made up of thin strings
thin strings that become thicker every day
strings that grow stronger as you do
strings that can still break, no matter how strong they are
no matter how strong you are
and you are strong, even as these strings break and tear
but they will grow back
and i will be here with you
to be there as your heart heals
and even when the strings break,
you are strong. you are worth it.
