Heart

It swells with love until it risks bursting..

A rush to the brain;

A glow on the cheek;

A warmth between the legs.

It fills the chest 

Squeezes out the emptiness

Makes things like "forever" seen real

Until...

The body goes cold.

How much loss can one heart bear?

How can it be put back together?

What happens when the glue chips away

And the cracks spread wide?

There is no limit to love

But the heart is human - 

Frail.

How many times can it be broken and repaired 

before it can no longer hold onto love 

and can only, barely, continue to beat?
