In your hands you have my heart. It’s broken weak and works hard to barely function, but it’s yours.

It started out small tattered and cold. Then you reach in a pull it out. But because I was so hollow it took me a while to realize that I love you.

As I came to this revelation my heart cracked and broke right down the middle. It was so overwhelmed. Such a little heart broke from so much love.

The more you make me love you the harder it seems you squeeze.  Keeping it all to yourself, holding it together with such care.

But when you loosen your grip it starts to fall apart. Too much love for such a little heart. Let go and it’d fall apart completely, remaining in your hand; it’d still be yours.

It shudders and shakes as it attempts to function. So much work makes it bleed. But the pain is so worth it. So very worth it.

Funny how the butterflies you put in my stomach make its broken wings flutter. And how your smile warms its coldest parts. It makes the pain worth it.

It makes loving you worth it.

In your hands you have my heart. It’s little and broken, crumpled and frail. But its yours for forever and always, if you’ll have it.
-edit-

he let go.
