Keeper of My Heart

What a thief you are! You came in my life, Bloomed the most beautiful smile, my eyes have ever seen. Breathed your liquid voice, into the life of my soul. Then with the skill and swiftness of time to rob us of our age; you stole my heart. And hid it in a secret place within you Then you flew away Like a dove carrying my twig of heart You flew into the deep blue sky And disappeared with something that belongs to me. Now I'm in bondage. Bound by heavy chains of love anchored in your soul, Chains that hold me back when trying to reach another love And confine me where you left the essence of your fire. I would want back my heart, My heart that you sleep and toy with in the silent night. My heart that you whisper to the secrets of your dreams. My heart that you now keep as a pet and feed the music of your soul My heart that now belongs to you.
