Oh hai, broken heart.

Once you were glass
That first time you broke
Those shards in my bloodstream
Nearly killed me

I rebuilt you with porcelain
Without realizing
How easily porcelain breaks
And how much the pieces
Rip apart your insides

So I rebuilt you with plastic
Even though
Every parent knows
How much it hurts to step on a lego

I tried again with playdoh
But it couldn't hold the shape of love
And although my heart didn't break
It became amorphous
And I had to rebuild anyway

What shall I use this time?
A composite perhaps?
Rubber?
Foam?

Or maybe
I will just
Be alone.
