Safecracking My Heart

My heart was locked in a safe Combination concealed from the start Relied instead on intellect Over-rotated to science as lost track of art Feelings felt foreign My heart was locked in a safe Leaned on left-brain logic Emotions didn’t enter my home base Uncovered a way to crack the code Unleashed my inner detective to solve the case My heart was locked in a safe Decoding it took a warm inward embrace Once I started showing myself grace The digits on the dial magically fell into place Love spilled out as my right-brain was unshackled Now my heart is no longer locked in a safe

I also had my heart in a safe. I made a poem last year very similar to this one. It feels so good to be able to feel your heart again.
