I Sold My Heart

I sold my heart to one  It was bought by another Claimed by a number While it remains in my possession. My heart belongs to an owner Locked in a cage To prevent its shattered pieces From piercing innocently  In a guilty manner Unsuspecting passersby.  Yet some tidbits Find their way out  Through cracks  In the wall Still.  My heart had been shattered  Once,  I left the pieces  Scattered  In the wall But more guarded Now ever than before.  Each piece made a whole Nurtured to heal In peace.  My heart is whole I hope you know True that it's in pieces  Each a part of a whole.  But then its owned by none Except the owner Yet, its fate lies with one And no other.  My heart is healed Hear me,  No longer in ruins Believe me,  The pieces made it More beautiful even And now it loves Wholly apiece,  Each piece loving And Living As the part of a whole To make it whole.  ©NobleHeart
