Heart Box
I keep my heart
in a box
Lined in lead
triple locked
Can't be too careful
you know these days
With Kryptonite
and what girls say
My heart's been hurt
so many times
I had the lead
velvet lined
To give it somewhere
soft to lay
Until it feels
it feels okay
My heart you see
can indeed
Be the most
peculiar thing
Softened in
its tender parts
Hardened from
all the hurt
Hence the box
triple locked
Lined in lead
for this poor heart
