My Heart

My Heart ^©

 

The day we kissed

You stole my heart

And have it with you still

 

You hold it in

Your tender hands

Alone you make it fill

 

Alas, I’ve tried

To take it back

And yet to no avail

 

For it to function

Without you

Is to float without a sail

 

To be afloat

No land in sight

Upon a lonely sea

 

No place to go

No glimpse of hope

To wander aimlessly

 

For its your breath

that starts my heart

your breath that makes it beat

 

Like none I’ve

e’er met before

Nor one I’ve yet to meet

 

You are the one

that keeps my heart

That makes me feel alive

 

And you’re the one

that I must have

In order to survive.
