holding fast

Cupid's arrow split apart
 the rib cage that protects my heart
 making room for you to fit
 perfectly inside of it

 stretching out, you make your home
 scratching surface, bending bone
 making sure that love gets in
 holding fast through thick or thin

 erasing memory, the brain's hard drive
 deleting all that use to thrive
 in the gray recesses there
 inserted hope to answered prayer
