Treasure chest

I kept my heart in a treasure chest

..... in that place it was safe

Nothing could hurt me there

... in that place so secure

Then one day I found a wanderer

... so hurt and so like me

I was entranced..... 

and so I gave her the key

The key to my treasure chest

..... she now holds the key

She opens that place and looks inside

and turns my heart upside down

She could come inside if she dared

.... come inside if she cared

What will she do?

Will she join me in that place?

.... and put her heart next to mine?

Two hearts could beat as one
