Beautiful beating heart

It was a 

Beautiful day.

It was the first

Day in a long 

Time I opened

Myself up.

It's so

Hard for

Me to do.

I can fake

It so people 

Think

I am open.

But

Not today.

I actually 

Took

A breath

And let you

In.

I was in

Your kitchen

And I was

Washing

Dishes

While

You were

Cooking.

Brushing

Up

Against

Each

Other in

A tight little

Space

I said to

Myself...

Breath..

I closed

My eyes

As my 

Hands washed

The dishes.

The soap

Going

In between

My fingers.

You came

Up

Beside me 

And brushed 

My hair out 

Of my face

With 

Your fingers.

I looked 

Down and

Smiled.

If you looked

Into my

Eyes

You would

See.

You would

See my 

Heart.

My real 

Heart.

The one that

Nobody

Really sees.

My heart

Was open 

For just 

A few minutes.

It was beating

Fast.

I pushed 

The feelings

Down and

Closed my 

Heart

Quickly.

One day 

One day,

It will open

Up and 

The fear

Will leak

Out leaving

A beautiful

Beating 

Loving

Heart.
