Trusting Heart

I write horror but to me, the scariest thing to me is love.

MAN: To you my love I bring a gift.
WOMAN: Oh, what gift would that be?
He presented her with his heart balanced on the tip of a knife.
MAN: I bring you my heart and dagger. If you don’t care for it, it will slip and be pierced by the knife. If you mistreat it, it will lose balance, fall and break. If you neglect it, it will become weak, stop beating and fall apart. What happens to my heart happens to me so I give it only to you.
WOMAN: Why my love, would you gift this to me?
MAN: Because I trust you.
