To my then, fragile heart:
All pretty and perfect
No scratches nor leaks
No tears and seeks.

Always seeking.
Soon finding.
I wish it stopped.
Why hadn't you?

Beating in sight
Of someone who shone you so bright
Please stop.
Don't.

Don't look there.
Stay here.
Stop running in excitement.
Please, I beg of you.

Now we're here
At the end of it all
There was never a chance.
Nothing at all.

Now you're broken.
Tired and aware.
Now a rock.
Rebuilt and weared.

I wish we hadn't come to this.
All X's and no's.
But I couldn't help it.
You fell in the show.

The show of love that plays us all
Like discs, over and over.
Until we finish the song that once made us sing.
At the end, the sadness that makes us crazy.

♡
