If your hand could reach inside my heart,
What would you do with it?
Would you wrap your fingers around it
with the intent to kill or protect?

Would you lock it in a box?
Leaving me empty of feeling,
just so you could keep me close?
Would you have it surgically removed?
Strategically cauterizing every vein,
thinking I wouldn’t notic...
