I Might Have Held Your Heart

 Chances are

I've held your heart in my own

Because I've loved it

Maybe more than you have

And I've wept over its' beauty

Seen its' value

Felt its' beating cry

And wanted to make it whole

I've known the futility

Of my actions

Yet tried

Awakening to my patterns

Yet being so filled with the hoping of it all

That I have held your heart again.

Do you know

I've had to ever so gently

Give it back to you

And then do it again

And sometimes I've had to lay it on the floor in front of you

And walk away

Bleeding?

I'm sorry

I thought I was more than I am

I thought,

Well it doesn't matter.

But you are enough

And you are able to hold your own heart

Just as gently

Awakening to your own beauty

And feeling your own beating cry

And answering the call.
