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

Would you hold it close to you, fill it w/ warmth, & never let it go?

Would you give it back to me, cold as ice, & hope that w/ every inch of my freezing body that I could warm myself back up?

Would you love & cherish it like no one before & hold me til I’m dead & gone?

Would you lie to me?

Lie to protect me, claim you love me

But lie to me nonetheless?

Would you hide me from the truth?

Shelter me inside a barrier

Confine me under a rock?

& if I came out to you?

Would you suffocate me in a blanket, in a car; lock me up in a closet

Or would you love me for who I am?

If you had my heart,

& I loved you w/ every ounce of my body

What would you do w/ it?
