Fragile Poem by Joan Hart

And we're back in time - just kids again
Playing our childish games
Except now the stakes are high,
The rules aren't quite the same

We play with hearts like they're just toys,
Tossing them around
It's true they go soaring above
But then they hit the ground

With painted smiles and secret wounds,
God - we are such fools!
Leaving loose ends frayed, they rip and tear
Ignoring all the rules

In this blind approach, no one wins
And we won't get very far
We'll keep losing until we realize
How fragile we really are
