I once had a heart.

It was broken

And torn

And worn by many

But it was mine.

You once asked if I could love you.

I said I could

And maybe I would

But you misunderstood.

There once was a time, when I bared you my heart.

And you tore it

And wore it

Like a mask for your fears.

I now ask for my heart back.

But you lock it away

As I beg and I gasp

It’s not yours to take

But nevertheless you rip it from my grasp.
