I wear my heart on a safety pin,
outside the skin I linger in.

I keep it locked from all the sin,
yet my faith is growing thin.

This little heart of worn-off paint
marks the rank of a lonely saint.

The metallic click of the little lock
stops the hands on the eternal clock.

My heart-shaped bondage slowly falls
as the voice of a stranger lovingly calls.

I pick up my heart before I stand
and place it in his gentle hand.

He unclips his own and hands it to me,
I guess this restraint is more like a key...

A poem about the "story" of a girl with a badge of many faces. She finds she is not the only one with this curse, and meets a new fate. Read and interpret it yourself!
