Will you promise to not hurt my heart so?
With each nasty word, will you soften the blow?
For my heart is yours and yours alone
My heart is soft, it possesses not a bone
For treating it badly makes it ache so much
It has to be cherished by your gentle touch
Will you hold it with kitten gloves?
Tenderness is something my heart loves
Will you feed it with true and warm words?
Making it flutter like the wings of birds
If you are pained be careful of what you say
My heart needs to be treated in a special way
For its not what you say but the way that you say it
That keeps my heart still or else it will flit
It's a simple request for my heart to belong
Wanting it treated right is surely not wrong?
All I ask is you cushion my beating heart
Treat it with love and respect right from the start

Writing has been my friend since a teenager...I laugh, cry, think, pretend, smile as I do it. I feel that I communicate better through my writing as in person I can appear a tad scatty.

If I Give, Then Will You
If I give a frown, Then will you turn it upside down. If I give a smile, Then will you stay awhile. If I give a tear, Then will you hold me near. If I give a wink, Then will you make me blush pink.
Engulfed
Your words they smooth. Like an old mellow tune. Engulfing my every beat. Enticing me to release. Giving it up to you. Hoping it's enough to see me through. Allowing my ears.

My eyes are tired, Red with pain, Drained out, Like desert rain. Dull ache Through my bones, Crushed silk, Love on loans. Fairy wings Through locked doors, Unpainted walls, Red foot sores.
