Heart in a BoxA Poem by randomhope09
I keep my heart in a box
tucked deep away in a chest cause only there can I save it Only then can I keep it Every now and again, I take it out I risk my heart to someone else I let my guard down and walls crumble But then I am reminded why I keep my heart in a box Tucked deep away in a chest Cause only then can I protect it Only then is it mine Over time, I have lost pieces of my heart A friend here, a loved one there Each have taken what they wanted And my heart is no longer whole They left my heart when they left me So alone with my heart, I stay With it locked in a box Tucked deep away in a chest Only then, can I keep it together Only then can I have control I can pretend everything is fine when my heart is in a box But hopefully someone will come Who will treasure my heart and give me their own Only then, can I set it free I keep my heart in a box tucked away in a chest hidden from all the world Until I can finally set it free. © 2011 randomhope09Reviews
