Something's there

There is something close to everyones' heart,
and everyday it's being tested....
and beaten....
but we still cling to that one thing
because that's what we have always had.

May it be something as small as...
a stuffed animal,
to as large as your first real drawing,
you have kept it close to your heart,
because you know it means more.

There is always something there,
and when people share what it is,
it's like letting someone see you naked,
and you feel as small as a child,
but you do it anyway...
and not because you have to,
but because you want to.

For what is a human without other humans,
nothing but the expanse of loneliness,
that sits in their heart,
and slowly turns it into ice,
like bitter old hags who only let cats see the goodness still left.

The human touch is something to treasure,
and something one should never let go,
and when you find what is close to your heart,
you should share it,
even if... it... and your heart get's broken.
