Not Anymore

My heart, once strong

as steel, could take on

anything without fear.

Not anymore.



Used to think I was strong,

unbreakable.

Not anymore.



Give my steel-strong

heart a chance at love.

Thought it could last.

Not anymore.



My loved one turned my heart

to porcelain, paper thin.

Thought they'd protect it.

Not anymore.



They tried to give it back.

I froze as they tripped,

dropping it from the satin-soft

pillow to the hard cement floor.

Thought it wouldn't break.

C-R-A-S-H

Not anymore.

Ah, breaking up. Such fun. ca 2001.
