My Gift to You
Protected in my hands
Guarded by a sentinel
Inside a hardened cocoon.
I keep it inside a golden chest
A thousand miles under the ocean.
It is there that I keep my biggest treasure
It has felt my sorrow,
In an unfathomable measure.
Shielded by a million walls
Protected from vicious thieves.
I’ve put a lock around it
And thrown the key
It is mine and sacred
For now and perpetually.
Deep inside though,
I know that I’m just afraid
Terrified of more scars and pain
So I’ve slowly disconnected myself.
That’s why I find myself confused today,
I feel different in a way.
You have penetrated my barriers
And destroyed all my obstacles.
When you entered my life
You freed my heart from its metal shackles.
From black and white
To blinding rainbow
You make me see the colors
I had no idea existed.
So here I stand today
And with cherish, to you I say
I hope you never have to go away
Because my heart and I are here to stay.

You’ve got great insights about MY GIFT TO YOU, keep up the good work!
Thanks! I actually got inspired by another poem (“Love Song” by John R. Nash) but when you compare them, his is waay better. Thank you so much though.
