Glass

I was born with a glass heart
Completely see through  
And Well understood 
Very fragile
And taken very wrong. 
Quite poor, it also happened to be shaped like a ball.
It got tossed around. 
Hitting the ground.
Trying to be ok.
Trying to stay safe.
One toss it hit too hard.
Too outta reach to check.
hitting the ground too hard…
It was all fine I thought. 
Cracked. 
One line that crossed that heart 
To utterly.. Spiderwebbed
A whisper makes it crumble
 …shattered.
Built a house around that shattered heart 
Well… what was left of it. 
Just to protect that newborn's heart.
Just that little house.
That house to fix that broken heart.
That was shattered to a million parts. 
A part of pain
Of memories being tossed around.
That little house protecting  that almost healed heart. 
Broken
Then aging it started over 
Toss Toss
Drop Drop
Toss Drop
Shattered. 
Then that glued together heart was shattered again. 
I thought I should build a castle around that shattered heart.
