Excuse Me..

So sorry to stop you
But I think you dropped
Something back there

You don't think so?
But I saw it fall from
Your shirt pocket

Now you run to pick it up?
And dust it off?
Why are you being so fragile with it?
What is it?

Someones heart you say?
Wow, wait.
You let something so precious hit the floor?
Can't you see how it's barley being held together?

The tape's pealing,
The staple's rusting,
The thread's unraveling.

What?
You've never notice it before?
It's even missing pieces.

Really?
You've never noticed?
You just put it in your shirt pocket
To keep it in beat with your own?

That's really sweet.
But try to be more careful with it.
It has been though a lot.

How do I know?
Simple,
It's my heart.
