I was not looking
least twas not my intent...
for my heart I had put to sleep
Safe from all despair.
I had built a fortress,
Inpenetrable around my heart
I was infallible or so I thought..
until one day out of the blue, you appeared
and something in the way you spoke
a vulnerability I sensed in you,
an urgency that awakened in me
feelings long cast asunder,
hidden away to hibernate for evermore..
And yet you were able to break through
and return to me something of great value
that had been missing for so long..
My heart.
