Dear heart

December 7, 2017

dear heart,

        I’m sorry I left you unprotected

I thought when I surrendered,

 I allowed you to be safer

handing you to a pair of hands too rough

i should’ve realized that would never work. 

Im fighting to take you back

the enemy is strong

the enemy isn’t a true enemy

 the enemy is who we both want. 

 So as he keeps you,

im trying to make this fair. 

I want to have his heart too

maybe we’ll trade fair and square

or maybe things will go back to how they used to be

im sorry.

sincerely,

me
