My Heart

i got a gift for you 
I hope you just love it 
I wrap it up in the finest paper 
the only way to truly show my love I admit 
I cant wait to give you the object 
this polished piece I want you to own 
and if I give it to you
 this significance my affection Will be shown 
i tied a luxurious ribbon 
with the biggest perfect bow
this  package is stunning I’m so excited 
God your mind will be blown
I prepare my attire excited and disappointed knowing it will be my last 
on my way over my confidence confirms my decision every detail’s surpassed 
the rhythm resonating from the box comforts me like a newborn in the womb 
although I won’t be able to enjoy your recognition from inside my marble tomb 
my excitement is so overwhelming it feels unexplainably fun 
I am just pleased I found my destiny 
since we both know you are the one 
I’m starting to feel faint 
it’s OK tho I am  almost there 
but, wait are you having company over? 
if so I was unaware 
peeking in your smile has brought me the comfort I’m looking for 
I take a deep breath knowing
 I won’t get to enjoy it much more 
my knock brought your eyes to mine 
but the smile left your face 
i thought you said you loved me why was it hard to trace 
I was fading fast and losing consciencness  starting to gasp for air
i droped my package on the floor and fell into the chair
I realized I was not alone when I looked to my right 
a beautiful woman I could tell even with such dim light 
you picked up my crushed box it’s Contents  so clearly broken

 so you shook it and threw it away, and this woman so soft spoken 
“Honey maybe she need some water, I think  she looks faint”
wait did she call you honey 
this stranger I failed to acquaint 
My once perfect container, barely recognizable 
 and I heard it’s last beat 
“oh yeah, THIS is the woman of my dreams Dawn, I was hoping the two of you would meet”
