In each one, I invest my heart.
A kiss for the one I love, free and unguarded, a sweet investment of my soul, all my hopes for them, their health and happiness a heartbeat that seeps from my being into the person I am holding.
I invest so much, so quickly sometimes
At times I find myself reluctant to invest my heart, it doesn't feel right
and I cannot force it, but when it's real, I give it all.
Then something happens, I lose the thread of the love I'm expending and it is cut short.
This causes trauma and bleeding, so why do I wrap my heart around the hurt and bleeding of others, trying to staunch the flow?
How is it that I have found someone so, so right for me and yet I fear unobtainable? A foolish investment of my heart again and yet I allow it. Because I love.
