My Heart

By: RD

I open my chest and hand my heart over to you!
You are now the keeper because it beats, it cries for you.
It’s up to you to keep it beating or kill it, which kills me too!
You asked for my loyalty, so I give you my heart to know my words are true.
You asked for the truth and, I’m truly in love with you.
My heart is the key to my feelings and my soul.
My love is like a furnace with endless wood,
so it will never go cold.
You have my feelings, heart, and soul.
Know these special things which you hold.
I’m giving you of which you ask of me because
I truly love you
and that’s the main thing I want you to know.

    RD – I love this poem! Your feelings powerfully shine through your words, and the reader can really tell how much you love. A line that really sticks out is when you say, “my heart is the key to my feelings and soul…you have my feelings, heart, and soul.” This line really demonstrates how much you are willing to share and open up for this love – it brings out a lot of positive emotions. Thank you for sharing & keep it up!
