PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's been 10 years since
my first relationship
and I can't say
I've become better at this.

Every time my heart breaks
I become a little less open,
a little harder to crack.

My heart has become a brick wall;
I can't afford more damage
because I've experienced so much.

How can I stop my heart
from tearing in two
the next time love hurts?
