My Heart

My heart

Will you hold it?

After years of wear and tear?

Can you hold it as it crumbles

Through the worn out bandages?

Are you gentle enough not to shatter what's left?

Are you strong enough to hold it together?

Are you warm enough to keep it from turning into ice?

Are you hot enough to spark a fire from within?

Will you?

Can you?

Should you?

Are you?

Are you the one for this challenge

Or are you not?

Should you stay here for me

Or should you not?

Tell me now, you must

Lie to me not

Will you hold my heart,

Or will you leave me to bust?

Will I?

Can I?

Should I?

Am I?

Will I be the one to mend your broken heart?

To show you its okay to love once again?

Will I be the one to make you smile?

Or be the one to make you laugh?

Can I hold on to the fire in you without being burned?

Can I light a passion that will last?

Should I let you in?

Or should I not?

Should I try?

Or should I not?

Am I the one you'll keep?

Am I worthy enough to stay by?

If I let you hold this wreckage

This wreckage I call my heart

Will you keep it safe within the fortress

The fortress you call your heart?

Within you

Within me

If you say "I love you too"

That is where you'll always be
