I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to
break your heart
into a million pieces
didn't mean to
let you see how
mine can shatter
so easily like
a glass dropped
on the floor
shattering, breaking, destroyed
unlike the glass
my heart can be fixed
can go back to normal
except for the one
crack left behind
after every break
the one small
piece that doesn't
quite fit back
into place
