Glass Hearts Z. Hex I can’t blame you For being afraid Of placing a glass heart Into hands That have only known hammers I promise, I'm just trying To build somewhere safe For it to beat Somewhere that's not a cage Or a pedestal In seven months I never said How much I love you Until you had already left Despite how it lingered On the tip of my tongue Scratching At the back of my throat I let that live In every starry-eyed look I shot your way Left it trailing Every gelded goodbye cut short And untyped, at the end Of every goodnight I sent I tried so desperately To fill the footprints Several sizes too small You left in your wake Hoping to catch up And walk alongside you Instead You'll have to forgive me For being a bit slow I've been stopping to collect The perfect stones For you to skip
