China-cup heart

My china-cup heart
She sits here chipped
In the cupboard you built
The cupboard you built
Out of strong wood
Too strong of wood
To house such fragile things
Things you have placed here for safe keeping
Delicate, valuable frailties
Which cannot afford to get lost
Never again touched
Only viewed, thru beveled glass at a distance
And at an angle that does not reveal the chip
That you placed in my...
'China-cup heart'
