Would you gift your heart if you have an option?

***

What if you could rip your heart?
Hold it out to admire
Wrap it in a box
And parcel away your desire?

But wait that's not it
What if you get one back?
From the stranger you've never known
From any a Jill or Jack

Would you open the return gift
To watch that thumping heart
Or would you keep it in your cage
In place of your empty heart?

Assume for a second you do
Maybe for a dare
But what would follow later
Would be a bad nightmare

It could be the heart of a mentalist
Or one of a killer
It could be the heart of a depressed
Or one of a lover

You could head out all crazy
Or carry with you a gun
You may sulk at your home
Or just kiss everyone for fun

That would be really stupid, right?
So can you stop that
The best way to do so
Is to never remove your hat

Don't ever rip your heart
Or wrap it in a gift
It's a very precious thing
So never let it drift

Coz there's nothing else around
That could replace your own heart
It's that only precious thing
You would never find in a mart

Yes, it's the only real diamond
Which no other jeweler can chisel...

But more importantly, would you accept a return gift?
