Fragmented

We often look at the heart as though it is singular

Alone

And ours.

A heart is not just a heart

There are chambers

And different pieces

That work together.

These pieces are given to others when their heart needs help.

And you get pieces of others when your heart is getting too small.

A heart is hard to take care of

And we often must give pieces away

Even though we know we may not get it back.

A heart is a heavy burden

But the heavier it is the stronger we become.

There are so many people who have caged up their heart

Let it be alone

And slowly let it die.

Too many zombies are among us today

Trying to take away our pieces of heart

And even the pieces that don't belong to us.

It's scary

But it's worth it

"Because nothing lasts forever 

Some things aren't meant to be 
But you'll never find the answers 
Until you set your old heart free"

My heart is scattered and fragmented

and I don't have all the pieces anymore

but I got someone else's

so I'll make sure to take care of it.
