Trust

I gave you my heart, 
it trusts to rest perfectly in the cup of your hands, 
so I gave you my heart to hold, 
to carry over a river of broken dreams, 
over the shards of a life past ,
to an intensity of true love desired, 
but you became weak, 
unable to hold my heart forever,
you reached out to take another, 
mine discarded, 
drifting, 
torn, 
a fading heartbeat, 
dead echoes of emptiness, 

Now...

in this time of need,
I ponder, 
to trust another , 
vulnerable I look to you, 
I share these words that belong to my heart, 
and in this intimate moment, 
I give my heart to you, 
to carry over a river of broken dreams, 
over the shards of a life past, 
to an intensity of true love desired, 
but I fear it to fall again, 
so handle this heart with care, 
it trusts to rest perfectly in the cup of your hands,
