My Heart

My heart

It bends

It weaves 

It does not break 


Elastic like a rubber band

Resilient like a tendon

Snapping back into place


I may have once felt

Myself falling apart

Sinking down

Holding my chest


That was but a bullet

Too weak to break through

Ricocheting back

Breaking the brick


The wall in which I once built

Believing back then

That I needed to hold 

Together the pieces


That is what breaks

What crumbles and falls

The pieces barely noticable

Mistaken for my heart
