The Heart

My chest can't hold it any longer
The heart of brilliant white
Made of stone, and of steel
But also the thinnest glass.
A sheild of protection and strength
But also like a fragile flower.

Let's go somewhere quiet
Only where we know
Where the world turns without us
And calm keeps us warm
You can put your arms around me
And cover me with kisses.

I'll put my hands to my chest
Draw the warmth towards them
Here is my offering to you
The heart of brillant light
You are the keeper now, after all
The heart was always yours.
