Yours to Keep

Something painful surfacing.

Sour,

Yet sweet.

I feel the pain of love;

Foreshadowing deceit.

Weary, I may be,

I give my heart in whole.

Fairly certain

It will shatter.

Broken.

Tainted.

Tattered.

Take my lungs,

Feel my soul.

My love is yours to keep.

Until you break me,

I grow cold,

Waiting for a morbid leap.

Cajole me,

Control me,

I am yours to keep.
