Fragile Heart

 

The heart is such a fragile thing so delicate and in most people pure

Tainted by a thing called love

I tried to love once and had my heart cracked

So i put up a wall around it to protect it and never suffer that pain again

And then i met you

So sweet and kind

I try to ignore the tug on these chains that keep my heart locked up

But the more time we spent side by side the walls started to crumble

I try to get away

I try to run

But that smile and kind words pull me back

And as time passed by the walls disappear as i start to fall

I thought the only person who could have the key to unlock my heart was you

And then i fall completely as i hear your laugh

You catch me in that embrace you call love

But you hold my heart in your hands

You don't realize how much power you hold over me

And as even more time pass i think my heart is finally healing as i learn to trust once more

But you never had eyes for me did you

Never realizing how much of my heart you have

And then my heart that is already made of glass is dropped once more into the abyss of rejection

As the realization sinks in

You don’t love me like i love you

And as i hear the words of just being friends

My heart collides on the floor shattering into so many pieces

I stare in disbelief my body goes numb

I see him go with the one he cares for

Leaving me to pick up the pieces

Drops of small crystals fall from my eyes as i collect my once loving heart

The feeling of being forever alone until hands touch

I look to see a different boy by my side

We stay in silence as we put back together the broken glass

My heart starts to glow

As the boy stood by my side

You may be gone but

I will move on

With a boy who’s willing to pick up the pieces

I know love is a never ending game of pain and joy

But i will continue to follow this path

Until i find the one who stays by my side
