Everytime somebody hurts you
It leaves a mark upon your heart
Sometimes it's just a bruise
Sometimes it's an open wound
That slowly heals, leaving a scar
Or never really heals at all
Always ready to bleed again
At the slightest touch

You build up walls to protect it
Cradle it like a child
You long for someone to break through
Then push them away when they get too close
You wish your heart was brand new
Untouched, unscarred, whole
Ready to trust, to love, to feel anything
Without fear
Most of all you wish you could be anyone
But you

Back
