Beautiful And Fragile Like John Lennon Poem by Uriah Hamilton

The heart
Is always waiting
To break.

I sat with a sad girl
With a nervous laugh;
She was delighted
To have company,
She trembled
And nearly wept.

Everything touches us
To our inner core
And changes us forever
Like John Lennon
Identifying his mother
In a lonely morgue as a teen
After she was mown down by a car.

Everyone is beautiful and fragile,
I wish I knew where you were
When I feel the most vulnerable
In this often tragic world.
