\ninside my thoracic cavity<\/p>\n

i carry your heart<\/strong>
\nby e.e. cummings<\/p>\n

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
\nmy heart)i am never without it(anywhere
\ni go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
\nby only me is your doing,my darling)<\/p>\n

i fear
\nno fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
\nno world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
\nand it\u2019s you are whatever a moon has always meant
\nand whatever a sun will always sing is you<\/p>\n

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
\n(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
\nand the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
\nhigher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
\nand this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart<\/p>\n

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)<\/p>\n
