Heart

To love, to hold, to feel, to breathe, to live.......you
Thoughts so natural, but too dangerous to reach for
To be called baby a dream so sweet, but awoken by a reality so bitter
You can not be mine
I won't allow you to get that close
Even if my very being tells me yes
I know much better than to let you in 
My mind holds this truth, but my heart wants to live the lie
