tender

my heart is still tender.
even after everything the world has thrown at me.
and the only prayers that i’ve spoken 
are those asking for my heart to continue to be through the storms 
and through pain and through heartbreak.
let my heart be tender.
let it be tender enough to never bruise whenever  it touches something or someone. 
the God above, may he keep it
safe from bitterness, from the desire to hurt others.
my prayer is- let my heart be tender
