I am still yours.

Whether you discard me or keep me close,

I am still yours.

My wild heart is broken;  
You tamed something in me,  
And there is no way I know to un-tame a broken heart.

So,

I am yours.

This heart does not know how to give itself to another in this way;  
It bucks and throws everyone away.

Is it my whole heart,  
My whole mind,  
My whole being…?  
Or is it only pieces of my heart,  
The lost child in me,  
The wild one in me…

The fantastical dream of me,  
Broken  
By the reality of you?

How do I break your reality?  
How do I return the favor of love  
Upon love?

I want you, my love.

I am yours, my love.

*I am still yours…!*

I am

Still

Yours…
