My heart...

by Nicky Marinkovic

If you had my heart would you protect it forever?
Take care of this jewel and treat it like treasure

Be careful not to break it; for of glass it is made
It is fragile already; I feel the edges are frayed

Time has healed my heart but if you only knew
How vulnerable I feel when I share this with you

Past love has before forced my heart to shatter
My Heart locked away, left me feeling quite bitter

My heart has recovered, is searching for a home
Two hearts may beat together, no longer alone

I hope that you'll nurture this and treat it with care
To pick up more pieces, would make this unfair
