I think I left my heart on your sleeve
after you dropped me off
I sat at home wondering
Would you tuck it in
Could you soothe the deep wounds--With your powerful words
Like you soothe me
Do you wear it daily now
Simply as your reminder
of my love for you

I think you may have sown your heart on the lapel
of my favorite jacket
So that in winter you could keep me warm
So that even when I'm alone
I wouldn't know the cold
That jacket always wore me so well

When you ask why my hand is on my chest
I answer with "it's for comfort"
But I think you know
it goes deeper than that
It's my way of remembering
how a heartbeat felt
Not that I'm not alive now
I'm just watching my heart pump from the outside
I'm remembering comfort
It's a give and take
