I gave you my heart on a silver platter <br />No strings attached; no contract to sign. <br />Just your absolute love in return <br />In exchange for mine. <br />I've lived in darkness for far too long <br />Dwelling in the realms of my own prison cell. <br />You've found the key that unlocks my chains. <br />Shedding light into my black hell. <br />Giving you the weapons to tear me down <br />The barbed words to rip my inner soul out. <br />Trusting you never to utter one <br />When it comes to loving you, I have no doubts. <br />My trembling hand is eased by your steady grace. <br />All my wildness becomes bridled and tamed. <br />My iron heart melts at your slightest touch. <br />I'm guilty of love; This is no frame. <br />Time will tell if our love is true <br />Goodbye will never show its face. <br />Goodbye means going away. <br />Going away means forgetting <br />In my heart; you'll keep your place.<br /><br />Cory Jensen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-on-a-platter/
