Poetry: Handle with care

I am sending you my heart

all the way from here.

I am sending it first-class

please open it with care.




I am sending you my heart.

I finally surrender.

It doesn't have a return address.

You can't return to sender.




I am sending you my heart

wrapped neatly in a box.

It's easy enough to open.

It doesn't come with any locks.




I am sending you my heart.

I sent it in a rush

with a label clearly stating

"please, do not crush."




I am sending you my heart.

It isn't something you can share.

I am sending you my heart.

Please handle it with care.

    As I study your lovely face

    If you are a ticking bomb

    Or a fragile porcelain vase
