Broken Heart

I have so much to tell you, but I don't know where to start.

This is the beginning of giving you my heart.

I've been through a lot of sorrow, I've been forced to endure pain.

I had some feelings that I couldn't explain.

My heart has been shattered, time and time again.

And I've come close to believing that love was insane.

Now all I have are pieces of a heart that once was whole

And I'm trying to fix the damage where it took it's tole.

I'll be honest, I'm over come with fear.

I'm terrified of love because it only brings me tears.

I'm clinging to my heart, afraid of handing it to you

Because I'm afraid that like the others, you'll crush it too.

If my heart breaks anymore, all I'll have is dust.

I'll be devoid of emotion, sanity or trust.

So if I give you my heart, please handle it with care.

Don't throw it on the ground and leave me swimming in despair.

It's just so hard to love again when my heart is so worn out,

I promise I'll try but please forgive me if I have my doubts.

I just hold my breath and close my eyes as the two of us get shoved

Into this fearful nightmare we have come to know as love.
