Fragments of my heart

A lot of these poems are very personal and were written in times of high emotion for me alone. Publishing them is a bit like stripping off in public, but having said that, we're all pretty much the same inside our clothes and inside ourselves.
Anyway, as a leo, I can't resist showing off ;o)
