Am I
So naïve
Of a fool?
In wanting
To believe
The best of people.
Even though
Time after time
My heart is broken
Into a thousand jagged
Pieces.
Each successive time
Am left
Feeling like
Humpty Dumpty.
Without
The King's men
To put me
Back together
Again.
Wondering
If life would be better
Should I choose
To close myself off
Emotionally.
In becoming
Body and soul
A frozen maiden.
