I don’t want my heart to dry up, shrivel and wither. <br />I want her to warm up to you and for fear of cruelty shiver. <br />I want her to hold on to memories, sweet and bitter. <br />I want her to smile and frown and occasionally jitter. <br />I want my heart to be my companion and best friend. <br />And want her to be alive and responsive till the very end. <br />She is the keeper of my secrets and the holder of all feeling. <br />She has suffered with me through every lurching and every reeling. <br />You want me to give up on her after all we’ve been through together? <br />No way. She is always going to be there for worse or for better. <br />She helped through the darkest moments. <br />She was my only lifeguard. <br />I will not give up on her. <br />I will never be cold and hard.<br /><br />Ghada Shahbender<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-will-never-be-cold-and-hard/
