Heart Poem by Edwina Reizer

Encircle me, my loved one.
Never let me escape.
For the cage your love has placed me in
has for me the shape
of a heart.

A heart that beats all on its own
and sometimes weeps for you.
But trapped inside the cage I fear
there's naught that I can do,
dear heart.

Ah but for the touch of you
I am restless in the day.
When the night approaches
I pray it's the way
to your heart.

If you leave will you unlock the cage?
and allow me to be free?
Better that you leave me there
for what would become of me
and my heart?
