Today I’ll Open Up My Heart


Today I’ll open up my heart.
The words will flow, to you from me.
All the feelings, guarded, so,
now are clamoring to be free.

No longer can I hold it in,
this all-consuming love that’s here.
Now, like a bird, it’s taking flight;
no longer can be caged, I fear!

In time it’s grown to overflow,
the flimsy space I thought secure!
And now the words, in freedom fly!
I can’t contain them anymore.

I’ll bare my heart to you, my love.
I’ll take my chances, risk the pain…
relying on the old cliché
of ‘Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.’
