My Forever Valentine
by Shonda Chrissonberrythere once was this girl
who had a silly heart
or perhaps a bit restless heart
or maybe even a careless heart
who gave itself to silly boys
and restless boys
and yes, even careless boys
it loved freely
and without question
it laughed
it shared
it created
it really was a good little heart
but it always got hurt
by silly hopes
and restless dreams
and careless relationships
so much so that one day
this girl with the
silly, restless careless heart
had to tuck her away
from the silly, restless careless boys
and the silly hopes
and the restless dreams
and the careless relationships
she found a safe spot
she closed the door
she turned the brass key
she secured the lock
she hung her head
placed her hand over the emptiness
where her heart used to be
and hid the key
bracing for forever
and one day
there was you
and in an instant
my forever changed
you are
my heartwarmer
my truest love
my keymaster
my forever Valentine 02/13/2012 Author's Note: For Jeff - You truly complete me. I am so very blessed with your love.
