Have a care

Somewhere, down deep - there lurks…
Inside where no-one sees
My deepest desires, my ardent faiths…
My heartaches, my joys
I wrapped them all up for you…
A little bow and lots of padding

Have a care… I entrust them to you
As I have not done for any other
Small it may seem, yet they are precious to me…
In them are my tears, my fears…
My strength and my weakness,
All appear small now, yet they make me

None bar you have seen into me
With a leap of faith and a vast sum of love
I give it all to you, see me as I am
Stripped bare, my soul naked before you
All the lies she’s told, all the deception in her heart
So too all the love, all the honesty

Fragile as she is, frail in her fear
Have a care for she is vulnerable like this
And deep is the hurt you could inflict
My love, my valentine… this gift I give
Not a burden, not an antagonism
A fruit of love… a miracle in itself that…
I never thought I could do
