Unable to Love

My heart is encased in stone,
Bitter love it cannot condone.

When you came I can see through,
All the sadness they've put on you.

I'll take it away, if you don't mind,
Make it into a rainbow that's one of a kind.

But before you do, break this stone.
Which bitter love it cannot condone.

And so my heart it beat more lively,
And blooms like a rose, yet more shyly.

Then you took a hammer and smashed the glass,
This impossible love cannot last.

And so there grew this tougher stone around my heart,
Afraid to get torn apart.
