“You know my heart is breaking,”

“Crying, it hurts, please stop.” she said.

I realized at that point,

That is the farthest thing from the truth.

Breaking is bad, nothing bad is here;

Just us, just the truth, just finding it.

It is the area that has been locked away;

Shut so that you can protect it.

I found the key; 

You didn’t even know it existed,

You forgot about it,

You just made your heart smaller,

Never knowing it was missing.

Now like door,

That has been closed for ages;

It needs care.

Care to maintain.

Care to protect.

Care to cherish.

Like a precious metal,

You have trusted me with.

You are scared,

I understand.

I will protect it.

I will protect you.

This door made new,

And I will be the guard for you.
