If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?

Would you poke it with a finger?

Caress it with you palm?

Stab your claws in the muscle!

Or pull it out so I’ll fall?

I wish you would leave it alone

It’s painful enough just having

You close

Close enough to touch it

So back away

Stay away

Leave my heart alone

And left me drift away

Back to that place where my heart is caged; safe and protected from all of those unwanted choices.
