A/N: So this one I wrote for/to a specific person. Unfortunately I was not able to give it to them when it would have mattered. I could dedicate it but I'm 100% certain they wouldn't appreciate the gesture so here I am getting off my chest.


I remember when breaking hearts was something I used to do.

That's until I met you.

Now I spend every waking hour afraid to even make yours bruise.

Because it's something I never wanted to lose.

I go crazy because there is no place safe enough for it to be.

So I'll take out mine and put it inside of me.

In a vault inside my chest cavity,

In the space where mine used to be.

There alone I can guarantee its safety

It is precious, I will handle it with care.

Cause without it, you won't be here.

It is delicate, I will label it as fragile,

Treat it well, never cause it to soil.

Trust me with it, I will keep it enclosed in my chest.

There you can be sure I will look after it best.
