Keeper of My Heart

Just a short time ago, I lived with an abundance
of inner emptiness.
Where my heart was once positioned,
now stands a great black hole.

It took an enormous amount of strength,
to pull together, and reconstruct,
scattered fragments of a heart destroyed,
from the yesterdays gone by.

You have pieced together the shattered crystals,
of a heart that once was whole.
A treasure decimated by those of incompetence,
and not worthy of holding something so priceless.

This crystal heart is whole again,
Full of love for you to sweetly nuture upon,
Although still fragile, I freely give it to you,
trusting that no harm shall come to it.

Openly, I shall give you loyalty and dedication,
along with honor, trust and deep respect.
Into thy gentle hands, I place this heart of crystal,
greatful for the emptiness that you have replaced.

You have engineered a task that seemed impossible,
You solely filled the once depleted,
You have reconstructed the once destroyed,
For this, you shall be the keeper of my heart.
