My Heart, Resurrected
I look to the shadowed corner where my heart lays dead.
I can hear a beat and see a red glow in the shadows.
With just the feel of your arms around me,
I can feel my heart coming back to life.
Your words give me hope,
And my heart beats louder.
I can feel myself warming up
Feeling lighter and better than I have in a long time.
Your smile makes my heart skip a beat.
The simple thought of you brings a smile to my lips.
You know of my past, and the ones that hurt me.
You have had the opportunity to hurt me,
Yet you did not take it.
That lets me know that you will not join them among the scars that litter my heart.
I see you picking up my heart from the corner,
You are so afraid of hurting me that you do not risk anything.
But just the simple touch of your hand,
Has taken away at least three of the scars.
Can you not see?
You are the resurrector of my heart.
You are the reason I can smile,
The reason I can laugh.
You bring life and love back to my heart.
If you want my heart,
You can have it.
It belongs to you now,
in any case.
I know I can trust you with my heart.
You are not like the others.
You have had chance after chance to betray me,
But with each time you deny the opportunity,
You remove more of the scars.
You, alone, have always been there when I was hurt,
Alone,
Confused,
Betrayed.
You,alone, posses my heart, resurrected.
