Bubble Wrap

It’s been a while since I bubble-wrapped my heart
Put it in a box and labeled it fragile
Stored it away in a dark and damp place
Safe from the ups and downs of the everyday

Collecting dust among long forgotten things
Dormant and numb, oh what a relief

In you come and you open up the box
Slowly unravelling the layers and knots
And there you stand with my heart in your hands
Exposed, defenceless and naked
I hate it, I hate it, I feel so fucking scared
Just please, please, handle with care
