My Glass Heart is Caged

That’s it

I’m done giving my glass heart away

I know now

It is not something to give

So I will pick it up off the floor for the last time

I am putting it back in its cage

My chest will hold it back

I don’t have the strength to heal it right now

It will just have to bleed there

A heart torn and shattered

Hopeless romantic, they say

Yes, I am hopeless

So willing to trust

Too willing

And look what I did to myself

For whom else can I blame?

I was the one who handed my glass heart to them

But I’m so tired of picking it up off the floor

So I’m done

And my glass heart is caged
