My Chest Pocket
I carry your heart
In my chest pocket
As a whole not a part
Not in pendant or locket
I'll bear it forever,
Wherever I go,
Through every endeavour,
Through solace or woe.
You're wanty, not needy,
You yen, don't require,
You're generous, not greedy,
You're my only desire.
You're the red of my rose,
The sun in my sky,
The rhyme of my prose,
My one reason why.
So listen to song
That dwells in my chest
I will sing it lifelong
Undying love I confess
