HEART LOCKET

I don’t have a penny

in my pocket

Still want to somehow give you

that Ruby heart locket

Day and night

you crave for it

Lost in sad thoughts

you silently sit

But you never ever

give me a hint

I have no means

to ever mint

It will take years

even if I try

How can I watch you

for years cry

Hiding behind tree trunks

and walls

Your pained heart

for it calls

Dear let me rip my heart

out of my chest

You wear it as a locket,

let me on your breast rest

My heart will ever be

able to hear your beats

Please fulfill my wish,

my last earnest entreat.
