Into your heart

When I was young

All I really needed

Was for you to take me into your heart

To wrap loving arms of care

Around me

But all I met

Where hard edges

And furious glances

And the frost freeze

And then the boundary invasions

So that now whenever we disagree

I feel cast out again

But this is old pain

The pain of exile

Of not being held

Its part of growing up

But sometimes I just long for you

To take me into your heart
