He Says, She Says

He: Are you looking to be emotional?
She: No, I am naturally so.

And seriously I am. I was thinking ..
my heart is definately not open, unprotected
beating in the palm of my outstretched hand

I have a hedge around my heart
this means there are nooks and crannies
everywhere for the tiniest experiences
to slip in
touch my heart
protected from bigger things
open to smaller ones

but some,
some have a fortress
impenetrable.
