this is our happy place - poetry

for him

a boy has my heart
and he doesn't even know it
and it may not be my whole heart
but rather what's left to show of it.

the problem with loving
a broken-whole girl, like me
is once you have my shattered heart
not many things can make me leave.

is this a poem or a warning?
the answer, i'm not sure.
but i'll love you forever... if you let me
a promise, for all that it's worth.

i'll follow you like a lost puppy
i'm loyal, loving and such
and as for my past, it's a work in progress
but i can love you just as much...

if not more.
