You asked me to give you my heart, and within the silence wrapped around the air, I place it within your callused hands.
You gaze at in awe, handling it delicately, caressing it's red, and you look up at me, as tears spill across my face. The crimson that you bundled gently within your hands, was broken and splintered from the pasts I bared, and I look away ashamed of it's ruins.
But even with my tears shadowing my face, with one hand you brushed them away gently, placing my heart back within my broken chest. You leave your hand over it, open palmed and kiss my forehead softly as I allow us to drown within my tears, together.
And with your hand still over top of what's turned to fragments, you plant a promise within my heart,
to love my wounds away and to mend all of its cracks
