I give you my heart
in its entirety,
soul included, naked,
defenseless,
honest, sincere
It is surely vulnerable
Yes
Over the years, i’ve hurt and learnt
my heart, with layers upon layers of dark
carbon protecting it, forming a hard shell
of formidable hardness
But
We forget that carbon,
in its high density form, is also brittle
I give you my heart, from my hands to yours
It might fall and break into a thousand pieces
Much of it might never be retrieved again
And I will forever lose parts of my heart
There is indeed such a possibility
But still
I want to give you my heart
For this is the last great gamble of my life
