Oh, Heart, Don't Love Again
Don't walk into the storm again.
You know,
how the rain,
once soaked you through.
How each tear fell,
like endless drops from a sky
that showed no mercy.
You tried to swim,
but the waves pulled you down,
and no matter how hard you kicked,
you sank.
Heart, don't love again,
not after the ocean swallowed you whole.Remember the sound of thunder,
how it shook your bones?
How lightning tore through the dark,
leaving you trembling,
your chest tight with a pain
you couldn't name.
You chased the fire,
thinking it would warm you,
but it left you burned,
cold in the ashes.
Heart, don't look for love in those flames.You've fallen from cliffs,
you didn't want to climb.
Love pushed you,
and you tumbled, helpless,
into the pit of your own longing.
At the bottom, you lay still,
too broken to move, too hurt to scream.
You gave your everything,
but in return, you were left with nothing.
Heart, you can't survive another fall.How many storms will you try to fight?
How many times
must the flood take you away,
carrying you like a leaf, lost and torn?
The wind will howl again,
the rain will pour,
but you know where this road leads.
You'll be swept away,
like before.
Heart, don't go down that path again.Stay inside, lock the door,
let the storm rage outside.
You've been shattered,
and love will break you,
once more if you let it.
Don't chase the fire-
it will only burn you down.
Don't step into the waters-
it will drown you.
Heart, don't love again.
Let it go,
before it destroys you for good.HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMEONE WHO MADE YOU FEEL SO VULNERABLE,
HELPLESS, AND BROKEN?WHAT LENGTHS YOU CROSSED FOR THEM AND HOW THEY BROKE YOU LIKE A DELICATE GLASS OF WINE?
HOW NOW THAT THEY'RE GONE
AND YOU ARE DESPERATE
TO FORGET THEM
EACH AND EVERY THING
REMINDS YOU OF THE MOMENTS
YOU SPENT WITH THEM?HOW DESPITE YOUR EFFORTS
TO MAKE YOURSELF HATE THEM
MAKES YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM
ALL OVER AGAIN?HOW HATING THEM FEELS MORE LIKE
HATING YOURSELF?HOW YOU STILL REMEMBER THEIR
HABITS, LIKES, DISLIKES SO WELL
EVEN AFTER THEY JUST LEFT YOU
HANGING LIKE THAT?HOW DESPITE SCOLDING YOUR HEART
SO MUCH, IT'S STILL READY TO GIVE THEM
A SECOND CHANCE?HOW YOUR HEART IS READY TO FORGET
EVERYTHING LIKE IT WAS A NIGHTMARE
AND FALL IN LOVE AGAIN?Here goes nothing. . .
