I think I'll take my heart
and wrap it up
put it in storage
and wish it luck
◇
It needs to stay dormant
and on it's own for a while
the type of love it's receiving
is just not its style
◇
I'm really not capable
at this moment in time
to get the love it needs
or release it to fly
◇
It needs to stay put
for some time yet
there's others to think of,
their needs to be met
◇
So I'll carry on writing
about romance and love
keep dreaming about it
and smile and laugh
◇
I'll fetch it down when I'm ready
when I feel it's time
but I'll leave it safe
on that shelf up high
◇
I'll take my heavy heart
and wrap it up tight
let it rest through the day
and get a good sleep at night
