Glass Heart

Curled up in your arms

No need to be alarmed

For I have opened up to you

And given you my glass heart too

You peeled away the iron casing

Seen through the false frills and lacing

Inspected all it's pieces and cracks

And put them all back

You hold my fragile heart tightly

Don't think of this gift lightly

For just one more crack

And no one will ever be able to put it back
