Glass Heart

To love and be loved
Is all I really want.
And if I'm being blunt,
I could do without the games.

I don't feel okay.
Who knew feelings were hard to shake.
A heart of glass is easy to break.
But I'll just glue the shards back together.

Shattered to pieces,
Words like a sledgehammer.
My heart I had handed her,
Only for the hammer to be brought down upon it.

Sweet smile
Caring touch
Obviously I wasn't enough.
But you were to me, and more.

A heart of glass
Is easy to break.
But I'll glue mine back together,
Until I'm okay.

To love and be loved
Is all I desire.
Rather than play games,
I'd much sooner throw myself upon a pyre.
