Safekeeping

Safekeeping

I wore my heart on my sleeve
but it kept falling off
so I gave it away,
but she took a cheese grater
to it
till it bled,
which hurt.
So I thought
I would lock it away
for a while
but it just
got dusty
rusty
tired.
So I wondered:
If I offered it to you
(for safekeeping)
would you ever
give it back?
