Caretaker

If only you knew the power
you hold over my heart..
I wonder what you would do..
Do you care that you hold that heart
in your hands like a glass ball..
Do you clutch it tightly in your grasp?
or do you let it teeter on the brink
of your fingertips...
Do you even feel it sometimes slipping away?
Then ... rescue it before it hits the floor.
Do you protect and guard it ....
like a precious object ?
or do you leave it lying on a nearby table
covered with magazines and newspapers?
Do you feel my heart?
It's there I assure you.
I put it in your care because ...
I had no other choice..
It chose to live with you.
You are the caretaker of my heart..
Please.. don't let it shatter.
