My Heart

You encase my heart with something stronger than steel
Stronger than shackles
And it beats truer in this bondage than it ever did free
I know I have no right to feel these things
But I do
And I find myself wanting more
And yet afraid to ask, afraid to hurt
My hands extended to You
Only hoping that you might take one
In friendship if nothing else
Or take both and bind them...
Bind my heart as it longs to
So it may beet freely in time
In time to Yours
