My Heart is a shiny New toy

My heart is a shiny new toy

It's new and has never been b r o k e n

It has the walls of cardboard protecting it
and the twisty wires keeping it from venturing too far

There is a little sample of it on the outside of the box that you can feel, but it only gives you an idea what it feels like to love

To get that love you have to invest in it, it's not free

and love is a one way street.
when it goes both ways, it's magical

hearts are on the shelves waiting to be picked up and loved, but the ones in the back are unlucky

They collect dust and hide behind all the other hearts

Maybe their boxes are dented or scratched so the prettier boxed toys were put in the front rows

easy to reach

it's funny how kids want to invest their love to the hearts on the shelves, but are too short to reach and adults are too quick to check the price tag first.

once you find that heart you would empty your savings account for and your ready to take it to the cashier,

wether you have to push past other hearts to the back of the shelf, or find it hidden in an unexpected aisle or hide it behind other hearts so you can come back to it when your ready

you have to be ready to invest all you've got.

because after you've read the directions there is still going to be times you don't know how to take care of it, or you are frustrated with it, or it makes you sad 

but don't forget why you invested in that heart, you can't return it

Returns aren't accepted for eternity

hearts are mendable

luckily it has a lifetime warrenty warranty so if it does break
I can get it fixed

  1. This entire idea is so cool.

    "There is a little sample of it on the outside of the box that you can feel, but it only gives you an idea what it feels like to love"
    Ohhhhh so good. Too many good lines, but I'll settle for this one.
