Fragile Hearts

Why are hearts made of so fragile materials?
So fragile,
Like the hand blown glass.
It takes so long to put them back together
when they break.
And even when they are put back together,
You can see all of the cracks,
And chips,
Where the one you loved smashed it into a million pieces.
What’s the point of fixing them,
If they just look worse when you do?
Why can’t I just buy a new one,
So when the next guy comes around,
They won’t have to have a
Hand-me-down looking heart
That looks like it deserves to be in the trash.
They can have the perfect one they deserve.
