Take my heart,
guard it,
as I guard it,
it is slightly precious,
it has been ripped out,
burst before,
a bloodless balloon,
infiltrated with cheese wire,
somebody tried to stop it,
prevent it bursting again,
slow punctures repaired,
with minute patches of sellotape,
sorry repairs,
pierced,
allowed gentle entry,
somewhat deflating,
only slowly,
a slow release of aromatic air,
a little spiced,
the heart still beats it's thrill,
despite the the chill,
love me some more,
I know one day you will!
