Heart
I am still holding on.
Afraid to let go.
Afraid to trust.
Because
What if they leave me
What if they lie
What if they hurt me
So it is my heart
which says no
(not my head)
My heart which
puts up the shutters
and tenses in pre-emptive pain
Time to coax my heart back
Into this field of trust
The only place
Which was ever truly home.
