Heart in a box

Heart in a box,
safe as can be,

but never days light,
will that safe heart see.

And no air to breathe,
another price to be paid,

and not to feel love,
can't there be another way.

I lay my heart 
on that chopping block,
and wear it on my selve.

Some people find this
hard to believe,

but to find love I see,
there's no other way,

but to hope and to trust,
and pray for the day,

that one true would find it
and not chop away.

And if that love does 
once come my way,

I pray that it lasts 
for the rest of my days.
