When you try to love me..

A smile is only halved,

A laugh is not sincere.

Our conversation ends

I just pretend to hear..

I'll still look on the street,

Force of habit I suppose.

Other eyes mine will meet,

Questioning the ones I've chose.

And then you call my phone,

At the end of a busy day.

And although I'm all alone,

There is nothing that I say.

You see,

You were little late,

When you chose to be the one.

I don't think you could relate

To the damage that's been done.

3 Years I've had alone,

My heart has built a wall.

When someone comes along,

I cannot love at all.

I know that you are trying,

And time will let her see.

This time I won't be crying,

You won't walk out on me.

But until My heart can open,

ignorant, she will remain.

Please know that I am broken,

I don't want to be hurt again.

I know that I seem distant,

Strange water, I am in.

Reluctantly resisting..

To learn how to swim...

And for the times we were together,

And you felt I never cared.

Know it won't last forever,

I am Just a little scared.

But at times, I look at you,

And allow myself to fall.

One day you will get through,

You will break this wall.
