Fragile
If you came in a box
It would say, “Handle with care.”
Like a porcelain figurines,
You are pastel, delicate, and beautiful.
But so rigid.
One wrong word,
One thoughtless gesture,
And you might break,
Leaving me to pick up the pieces.

Your poem works well and the images are great. Line three would be better without the word (a) or the (s) on figurines. Still a strong poem.
Beautiful imagery
