theatrical_muse: #169 - Fragile
I'm more fragile then I care to admit, to anyone. I guess it's a flaw that most surgeons have, the inability or difficulty admitting weakness, imperfection.
But I am fragile, even if I sometimes I forget it. I don't even know where to start telling you how. Contrary to popular belief, my heart is not made of stone, or ice, or not there. It's the heart of a woman, fragile but resilient, and scarred with cracks that have slowly healed themselves into mere scratches.
I am easily wounded, even if no one can see it. I cry a lot. I mourn things that I learned to live without long ago, I mourn the finality of their departure.
My emotions are fragile, muteable. I fall in love too easily, or at least kid myself that it is love. For all that, my affection is rarely raw and open and plain as day like Meredith's. I've learned to be guarded, to not wear my heart on my sleeve in case someone should tear it away from me.
I want to find someone who can be my world while still letting me be my own person. Someone as fragile as I am.
