In My Heart
There is a pocket
in my heart
and you can crawl inside it,
if you like,
and curl up there.
You can draw my heart's walls
against your body
when you are cold
and feel their warm pulse
against your skin.
When you stir in your sleep,
I will feel the tingle,
the tickle,
inside me.
I will not forget
that you are there.
You will be wrapped up
and secure,
my heart will be your new womb,
my laughter will be your new music,
"I love you" will be your new first words.
Your new first steps will be
toward the sunlight
and open arms.
But that's only if you leave--
but you can stay,
and I'll protect you and keep you safe,
because to get to you,
they'd have to get past me,
and I've put you
in the most well-guarded place
I know.
