Love

Know that my heart,
no matter how strong you believe it to be,
is vulnerable to you in every way.
It is something of value I give to you,
and hope you keep safe.

You can squeeze it,
and cause me pain.
You can destroy it,
and break me.
You can shelter it,
and keep me sane.

I trust you with my every being,
and I hope you do the same with me.
My heart's no trinket,
to be stored away,
and forgotten.
I need it to be with you,
to keep my love for you
warm, and always there.
