why am i the one
who offers to carry
your heart in my hand
i promise to keep it
safe in the form
of holding your secrets
i unconsciously let people
in even when it hurts
both of us to open myself again
i carry your heart in my hand for safe keeping
in a little hand-carved box worth millions
and hide that box in my own heart
