Shattered Devotion Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

Break my heart, break it a thousand times if you'd like.
It was only ever yours to break anyway.
Each shard a testament to the love I bear,
A sacrifice upon your altar of disdain.

I lay bare this fragile, aching chest,
Defenseless against your callous gaze.
Take what you will, for it is yours to claim,
This heart that beats only for your grace.

Though the pain may know no end,
I welcome it, for it proves my devotion.
Better to have loved and lost, they say,
Than to have never loved at all.

So break me, if you must, a thousand times over.
For in the end, my heart will still be yours.
