Hidden Hearts...

When our hearts have been broken,
lied to, ripped out, stomped on and
have been taken advantage of,

Our natural defense is to tuck our hearts in and hide
them from the world, While we hide our hearts
from the world, the chance of rebuilding them
with the glory of love passes by day in and day out,
like a fair breeze on a warm spring day,

As time comes and goes as fast as lighting
in a storm, our hearts begin to wilt like a rose,
without sunlight, no light which leads to no hope,
which leads to no life,

By hiding our hearts, we are essentially killing
them with a slow painful, unloved death,
Because we are terrified to let them see the light of
day, knowing that pain our hearts suffered could happen again,

Hiding our hearts is not the answer, to a happy
healthy heart, and the safety we think we're providing
is not safe at all, our hearts need to love and be loved,
and hiding away in some dark spot, certainly isn't
allowing our hearts the joy and love they need and desire,

We have to once again become vulnerable,
and take a chance at love, we can't keep
our hearts hidden forever...

You make some great points about hiding our hearts not being the answer. Our hearts do need love, we have to allow ourselves to take chances at love so we can find love. Good work!

i think you are so right about killing our hearts by hiding them away...but after enough blows, it is hard to get up from the stool and go back into the middle of the ring.

love this piece....so deeply felt.

My friend, you went and outdone yourself once again with your wise insight!
I found one mistake only on stanza one, line two: it should be "lied to."
