Kintsugi

Trying to give you my heart
(again)
Would be like trying to give
A rare porcelain vase
To an antsy 5 year old.
No doubt
They would try with fervent effort
To be careful
Careful
Careful!
Whoops!
"I'm sorry. I tried really hard to keep it steady."
"...I know, sweetheart...I know."

See as a grownup,
I ought to know better,
Than to fall for a sweet face,
And give something so precious
(again)
To someone who isn't ready.
