Faerie Heart


I held his hand reached for his heart but an arm's reach only reaches so far I stood and strained as if reaching for the stars I reach and reach stretching so far I try for his heart but he holds it so high in shackles, in chains he reaches for me with one of his hands but the other is reaching so high kept clenched around the ice cold heart I stretch I reach I try to keep warm the higher I go the colder it gets I try and I reach but chances are slim chances are low no odds in my favor that I won't freeze my heart in reaching for his in reaching so far for a forbidden fruit for his faerie heart
