_Closest to my heart_
 (for my mother on my birthday)

what lies closest to my heart
 stays in my heart

deep buried within my soul
 untouched… safe

i nurse it… i nurture it
 hidden away from the world

i talk to it in my dreams
 i play with it in my mind

yes… what lies closest to my heart
 stays boxed up… in my heart

and… this is where you’ve been
 all this time… since you left
