Heart's Shatter So Easily Poem by Amanda Shelton

love is rich with both honey and venom.

I collected many broken hearts over the years.
sat them in my glass jars of broken dreams,
watched them shader to millions of pieces.

Only to come up empty-handed
and with an empty heart.
My keepsake box forever locked,
not a soul mate in sight with a key.
Nonetheless I'm left with
my bookshelf of
unwanted love affairs,
and unwanted dreams.

As always
love came on a whisper,
only to fly away.
