My Heart

What a place for the heart

In the center of the chest

So easily to reach and touch

With trust and nothing less

Your hand, so strong

You give to me

My heart I give to you

Please be careful with this piece

One break and we are through

So strong, your hand, this deciving hand

For which I trust my heart in

Your fingertips begin to curl

To crush my love again

A tear I cry, stumbles down my cheek

As you leave me with the piece

The piece that once was my heart

That you crumbled from beneath

With these tears I cried so long

My trust slowly fades away

Along the rough and lonley edges

I find closure with the remains

And yet words fix nothing

My heart can never mend

Only slowly does it begin to scar

And gently beat again

So trust you not with my heart

The fairest of my soul

Where my love is hard to find

But inside it always grows
