Breakable

I was told it wouldn’t break
now that was a mistake,
on my part…

I could feel it with my hand
as both of us would stand,

together

I could feel it beating fast
and I thought that it would last,

Forever…

and 
then,

it broke…

it broke with 
shock
and 
devastating pain

it kept on breaking
each time I said your name

How could this be?
How could something so 
indestructible,
just suddenly break apart?

the loss 
of warmth 
and
then 
time ceases
It didn’t just simply break-in-half
It broke into a million pieces

Now…how am I to love again?

Really…I’m not sure…

It broke with so much 
thunder,
like a thief in the night 
you stole my heart 
and 
kept me under…

Until I could not breathe…

Or hear a single beat…

And now,
I’m supposed to just go on
And not let this repeat?

Well…I think
the next time 
I feel love’s call
I will try my hardest 
not to fall

Because now I know,

that it is breakable…

and

I hope the words 

I love you

are

not…
