I was raised in a loveless home

I don't know the feeling of loving

Being told that it will only cause trouble

So when my heart fluttered I trapped it in a bubble

My heart learned to ignore that emotion

It only knows the feeling of being ripped apart 

Then stitching itself back together 

Only to have a new slice 

Fear of a new cut echoes in my mind

How hurtful it is to have my riskful soul 

muted by such a powerful feeling

I never wanted to feel so vulnerable

I cry thinking how easily my walls 

can be brought down

Why am I not dominant to it?

It's holding me underwater waiting for

me to drown and give in

I need control
