I Don't Care If You Have Wounds

You can be torn
frayed
that heart inside your chest
if all remained was a fragment
I would love that fragment eternally

I would keep it, and hold it
and grow it back to new
I would give you back everything

But then.

What if my heart was broken
would you care for me, understand me
be there when I'm sad.

I say those words, and a door opens
you leave.

The gift of love and kindness may not be returned. I like the emotion and the desire of the poem. A sad ending to the poem. Thank you for the excelelnt poem.
