Crooked Little Heart

by Christina Leigh Peterman - Leo

I love him endlessly
with a somewhat crooked little heart.
It's been broken so many times
I'm a pro at putting it back together
But I can't always find all the pieces.
And sometimes the glue gives out
Letting more pieces fall away.
But still I love him endlessly
with my crooked little heart.
He holds it in his hands
And picks casually at the glue.
I almost wouldn't notice
If it didn't hurt so much.
And I can hear his laughter
With every piece that falls.

Reason for writing:

    Realizing that you can still care so much for someone even if they are a jerk. Comments please. I'm apprehensive about letting people read what's in my head.
