THE SCATTERED PIECES OF A BROKEN HEART

137 9 3
                                    

I see the way
you tiptoe around
the shards of my heart,
trying not to cut yourself
on any of the
broken pieces.
I understand
you don't want to damage yourself
by putting me back together,
but please do not pretend
you want to help
when you are the reason
I broke in the first place.
