Hearts need caring for.....

You really have to trust someone to give them your heart.

When I care for someone,
I imagine I'm carrying their heart in my hand.
If I'm too careless it'll stop beating.
If I squeeze too hard it'll start bleeding.
If I let it go for a moment it shatters.
I have to hold it, like it's the only thing that matters.
I keep my hands gentle, and caring.
It's their heart that I'm bearing.
If I give my heart to you, I'm trusting you.
I want you to care for it, like I did for you.
It's rare that I open up for someone, and tell them what I'm going through.
So please be the one that I can hand my heart to.
Please let it be you.

A beautiful poem and I agree.
"I have to hold it, like it's the only thing that matters.

The heart is very tender and easy to brake. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Seems to me you have a natural flare for poetry writing! Nice work!

Beautiful poem Shayna! I love the way your words show confidence in caring for someone else but the concern in opening up and giving your heart to someone else. It is always a tricky situation because you caring about someone else and the way you care about someone doesn't always mean they feel the same way back. It's a scary thing to open your heart to someone but it's the only way we learn about love, be it good or bad. Awesome work I really enjoyed reading your words keep up the good work :)

I love your writing.
I love the way you explain what it feels like to own someones heart, and how you take care of it,
and how you would want them to take care of your heart.
Interesting way to put it, but I like it.
I also loved the rhyming scheme.
Great piece :)
