Tonight while you sleep,
may I borrow your heart?

I want to hold it in my hands.
I want to cradle it against my chest
like a wounded, frightened bird...

I want to gently kiss
every jagged scar,
every bruise,
every painful tear.

And I want to find its most recent wound -
That horrible gaping sore,
that bleeds...
and hurts you...

And I will distil my love for you
into a soothing balm;
Spin my admiration and respect
into the strongest bandage;
and extract the way you make me feel
to create a transfusion of strength and vitality.

So when you wake in the morning
you can start to heal,
in the remembrance that your heart
is strong,
and pure,
and kind.
And one of the most beautiful things
in all of creation.

And perhaps tomorrow night,
you can borrow mine?
So it can whisper to you
all the things it wishes you knew...

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

My my, this is just romantically beautiful!

I really enjoyed how you developed the title into those well written well expressed feelings for another.

Oh, if only my own heart could have been treated that tenderly when it was broken. What a gentle, loving soul you have. May your heart always be full of radiant, selfless love and may it never be hurt or taken advantage of.

~ A beautiful expression of selfless love.

God bless you,
