Crystal Shard
 
I give you this heart,
This heart of glass.
 
Be gentle with this fragile jewel,
For the slightest scratch,
Will make it bleed.
Scratch too deep,
And it will break.
 
Store it safe,
Clear from harm.
 
Not there, for it will fall.
Nor there, for it may scratch.
No, a scratch it has,
And bleed it does.
Spare it from damage.
 
This heart is yours,
But heed my word.
 
No, it falls,
Beyond my reach.
Catch it please,
Don’t let it break.
But shatter it does,
And die I shall.
