Surprises

Woke up and checked myself
To see if everything was still there
If everything was still alive
If I was still alive
Checked my heart
And it was gone
A hole was instead there
Looking as though it had been ripped out

A trail of blood splatters the floor
I follow the trail wherever it leads me
Hoping that it will lead me to my lost heart
It's close
I can feel it
I can hear the beating
Of my lost and broken heart

When I reach the sound
When I believe I found my lost heart
I see someone holding it
It appears to be a woman
Who I have followed
Why does she have it
It's mine after all

She opens her mouth
To speak to me
I found this in the trash she says
It was torn, broken and trampled on
I picked it up
And I healed it
The best that I could
It is not the best
But I think I can take better care of it
Than the previous person who had your heart

I walk over to this girl
And she hands me my heart
I look at my newly repaired heart
And a smile comes to my face
My heart looks like new
To me at least

I look up at her
And she's smiling at me
I hope you like it
You deserve better than what you got
I open her hands
And I place my heart in her hands

I think you should take this
And hold on to it
I believe you know how to take care of it
And I want you too
I say without looking away from her
We smile at each other
And she reaches into her pocket
And hands me a key
This is the key to my heart
I want you to have this she says

As she wraps my fingers around her key
I take her key and place it around my neck
She takes my heart and puts it in her pocket
I look at her and she looks at me
I take her hand in mine
And walk away from everything with her

Wow. I love how you put something that should be 'mental' (Lost heart) into something 'physical'.

thats so beautiful... it's a nice way if saying that you love someone
i love the idea of exchanging your heart for the key to hers
