My Heart is in your hands

By: Susan Patricia Dixon

I carry my thoughts in my heart
I hold my heart in my hand
And before I give you this heart
I have to make you understand

That this is the only heart I have
If you break it... that is it
It will shatter into a million pieces before your eyes
Tearing me up, bit by little bit

I have to make you open your eyes and see
That I do really care
But my past has held me back
It made me paranoid and unable to share

I know I have to learn to trust you
And quit living my life with fear
But it seems so hard at times
But i know it would be even harder to live without you, my dear

So, as I place this in your hands
Please be gentle, be very kind
For my heart is very fragile
And my past wounds will heal, as our love is combined
