It’s Not Much, but its all I have

A shiny thing that is in my chest
beating with passion and desire
If it’s sweet nectar was taken away
It would mean death within an hour

It is all I have
And all that I possess
That contains my deepest truths

It contains all of my wishes and dreams
the ones I shed tears for to come true

It bled so many times
Just wishing for YOU to hear its beat
The bloody tears trickled down
Yet not even me could see

It isn’t much
It is not that special
but it is all I have

And I really do not appreciate
when someone wants to break it in half

Would I take a dollar from your wallet
If the dollar was all you owned
Would I take your home away from you
if its the only place you call home

The answer to these two questions
Is quite frankly NO INDEED

So tell me, why would you take my heart from me
When it is something that I might need……….

It’s not much, but it’s all I have
Please do not forget
because a person is not ANYONE without their heart intact
