Hearts are fragile things,
weak and soft they're easily broken,
smashed and crushed.
That's why most of us don't wear our hearts on our sleeves,
and guard this intimate part of ourselves with great zeal.
That makes it very difficult to hurt the man on the street.
But with someone you love,and someone who loves you,
that shell isn't there.
We throw up that wonderful protective barrier against the world is nonexistent
and in the beauty of love
we trust our dearest not to crush our delicate emotions
or break our fragile hearts.
But even when the love is true and genuine,
accidents happen.
With a proverbial flick of the wristor a prod of the finger,
an exposed heart can fall to pieces.
We don't mean to,we don't try to,
but when handling something as delicate as trust,
the slightest fumble can open the floodgate of tears.
Many bury their hearts deep within,
never to let anyone come close regardless of how worthy.
