My Gift

So fragile a gift I gave to you,
Placed in your care
It flourished and grew.

A gift which has seen tears,
Has even acquired
Some scars over the years.

It's properties requested by some,
But I chose you
You were the one.

You were the keeper of my heart,
Wrapped in kindness
I believed we'd never part.

I thought this gift did please you so,
Until you left me
Until you decided to go.

My precious heart was not enough,
You love another
For me it's tough.

My heart lies shattered upon the floor,
Unwanted,
Rejected,
Appreciated no more.
