Tears on the glass heart

[LadyWidow]

today you held me close and I heard your heart
loud and strong pumping the life in your body
I wandered what my heart sounded like
small and feeble
not able to pump as fast or hard
glass breaks to easy
my heart of glass taken from this chest
I placed it in your palm that night you gave your love to me
you gave me yours and I watch with a strong lover's eye
I cried this night as you looked down at my tear stained face
I love you so much the pain of just a mere thought of losing you is
just way to much for me to bear
you come to me and hold out my heart for me to see
to show me that it is ok still
the tears fall on to my heart in your hands
then yours
your tears combined with mine and fall off my heart
I now see that my heart is safe with in your love
you know that my heart is the key to my life
a heart made of glass in your large strong yet gentle hands
how easily can it be broken?
to easily I say
if you break my heart of glass I will die
life to short as it is you take me in your arms and tell me
that every thing will be ok
the word okay may be a short and simple way to describe something
but coming from the right lips it is the best reassurance offered
and I love you

I feel like I might have broken something just by reading that.

It captures fragility, trust and risk so well.

it is beautiful.
