Jarred Heart Maybe?

I've had "Bury My Heart" stuck in my head all morning. I understand what you're say K.Michelle. Bury it away so no one could even think of touching it. But why bury it? 

First, it's safe to assume that you would want to bury a wounded, bleeding, broken heart. To bury it is to cover it with more dirt, making it prone to infection, worms, and further suffocation. To bury a heart is an arduous task because it's to bury feelings. Suppress them. If this is an attempt at making it heal faster, this is not very sterile condition. Of course, immediately after getting hurt, some people just want to numb any kind feelings, thus burying them. However, those negative feelings always find a way to resurface (loneliness and helplessness always seem to resurface with her). 

What about a glass jar? Then, it wouldn't get dirty or infected and it could take its time to heal. Put the jar in a high, safe place so no one can touch it until you take it down and give it to them. The repercussions? Buried or in a glass jar, you're still walking around heartless for a long time.
