fragile heart
The sidewalk is cracked
like fractured bones
carrying a heart
so fragile
that you fear
that it would shatter.
The sky is a dull gray
with rain overhead
in a gloom
that describes
perfectly
your mood.
You only take a step
one at a time
for fear
that you would
fall
and no one
would catch you.
You stare forward
for fear
that what is beside you
is the most
unpleasant
atrocious
things of life.
There is black
but is there white
isn't there
you ask
though there
is no one
to answer.
But you
keep walking
cradling your fragile heart
in your
small hands
afraid to
give it away.
