what is this feeling?

it's like there are small cracks
spreading across my heart
and forcing it to stop

when i cautiously gave it to you
you took it into your hands
and put too much pressure on it

you weren't gently with it

you weren't gentle with me

and then i got

too

broken

for

you

but i held our love
until it grew cold and heavy
and it died in my arms

my heart couldn't afford
to spend more beats on you
so eventually it stopped
showing it's affection

my heart rate doesn't pick up
when i see you anymore
instead, my heart feels
heavy in my chest

it's a constant reminder

that you let it crack
too many times

my heart grew tired of love

and i can't convince it
that you had good intentions
