Fragile
When you pack me away for the night, cover me in bubble wrap. Tape the box. label it with a thick, black marker. FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE hold me like fine china displayed in the hallway cupboard. Look after me like a heart depends on it. Pack me away, if you must, though do so with care. I will not beg nor plead; it is only a heart. But it is your hands to fall victim to shards of a mishandled girl. Tend to those hands, or my heart, the choice is yours. -I am fragile, handle with care
