Tender Heart

Prompt: "A tender heart is full of grief"

A tender heart is full of grief,
because it never learnt to not open
when strangers come
knocking on the door.

A tender heart is full of grief
because its threshold is mistletoe,
and steeled hearts know to steal
a kiss or two inbetween winters.

The tender heart is full of grief
because it prefers the sleeve to its rib cage,
and knows that courage wears fear first
in its campaigns to conquer dreams.
