Cuts to the Heart...

I feel like this one tear on my cheek could swallow me whole,
And never spit me out.
I feel like this one tear will end me,
And tear me into hundreds of pieces,
That will float in its shallow depths for the rest of eternity.
This one tear will dry on my pillow,
And it will rest with all of the others that it has sucked up.
And its memory will be everlasting-
And this feeling will carve small holes into my heart
And will cause it to leak everything that I want to keep there.

When I give away my heart it is no longer a neat gift, wrapped with a bow
And sealed with a kiss.
It has been opened, violated and returned.
And it has carvings of times that I should not have had to endure.
I feel like this one tear that has streamed down my cheek is more like
A large damn that has broken, and it is eroding everything in its path.
And I don’t like it.
And I hope that the same thing is happening to you,
Because maybe if I carve a piece of your heart I can fill in
The cut you made in mine.

Can I?
