Unbreakable

We lie, entwined, in a cocoon
of steamed glass. Here,
held captive in one slice
of an alternate reality,
protected from the cold world
of sluicing rain.

I pledge a piece of my heart
to you: sole owner.
My promise, never to lease
it to another. Now, stamped
with your seal; a kiss -
your signature. Muse,
it is yours alone. And there,
an eternal torch shall burn.

Now, so scared that, never again,
will one man love me as you do.
You know I always fall
too hard. Soon, they will
be lining up to bre-
ak my heart.

Yet, after every bitter blow,
your golden corner will continue
to glow. Because, you,
no longer the untouchable,
have made this part
of my heart unbreakable.
