Busting my chestnut

you keep breaking my heart
cracking it open like a chestnut

who’s to say
if i should stay

i heard lover’s are meant
to crack each other open

besides
a chestnut only brings
new life
once it has been
cracked 
w i d e  o p e n

when it is laid to rest
to remember
it’s own life
before reaching
for the next one
