Please handle with care

There is a hole in my heart,
its been there for many years;
sometimes filled with joy,
but mostly with tears.

i tried to love and let other hearts near;
only to be neglected or rejected,
and left alone in fear.

wanting to feel safe and happy,
i was desperately trying;
but drowning in tears,
i was slowly dying.

then you came along,
and made my heart smile;
i pray in silence,
that you may stay a while.

now you are with me,
and i feel so complete;
all the memories of lonesome days,
i want to delete.

here is my heart,
the one true thing i have to share;
if you want it its yours,
but please handle with care.
