Box It Up! Poem by Gio Masserati

Box it up!

My feelings and vulnerabilities
Write Fragile on the line
Was really hard to make that call
To put my heart on the line for the umpteenth time
Thataway, Thataway...there, there...we got this
Comforting words and hands of understanding
We've both been hurt, I get it, I really do
You know it's not like me to reach too far
In deep sincerety, ah, I don't know what I'm doing?
I know what I want and it's you, that part I know
The rest, Im so confused? What the? Go the distance
Don't wanna get shot down by flippant talk
Quite coy and bouyant... floating just above hope
All the offerings I have to give, you want em?
We've both been trampled, you and I know it...we just do
That's why we're here trying to speak in silent whispers
I know you hear me in the wind... I hear too!
Our hearts aren't toys! They're fragile and delicate
Tender and loving to the capacity of ever so sweet
You know, right? I don't have to tell you a thing, you just know
We're fragile, but it's right, This, is right. I know.
I love you
So fragile...taking every precaution...but it's real!
This #%&* is Real!
Fragile! Extremely rare! Precious!
Handle with Care or don't handle at all!

Box it up!
