Protecting your heart

You reach out then pull back afraid of him

He broke your heart once tearing it to shreds

you can't help but think he'll do it again

why are you afraid you were only friends

you think back now to the time you cared

the joy that filled your heart when you'd played

happiness that spread across your face

excitement that filled your young mind

what happened to that joyest time

where life lived on and days would fly by

where your mind was calm and your heart was strong

when you cared to show the things inside

now you block them out shutting the door

protecting the world from the horrors in store

heartbreak
