As I gave my heart to her.
She held it in the palm of her hands.
Thinking she was giving it comfort and holding it tightly.
And so I thought, for eventually she would hold it no more.
She began to loosen her grip.
My heart slowly slipped away from her.
As it fell like a rock to the ground.
I myself saw it fall.
Once it touched the ground.
It broke like glass.
I then fell to my knees, looking at all the pieces.
Trying to put it together.
I was covered in blood.
From the cuts and scrapes it had given me.
My heart lay broken before me.
I could do nothing but walk away.
Hoping for the chance of one day putting it back together.

You know, Sometimes you don't really expect such things to happen. They arn't always what you had in mind. Sometimes the feel as if the are "Life Changing"... The only positive is to put it into words or "Letting It Out" .
