My Heart

My heart is so guarded- locked up with chains, protected.
Never wanting to repeat that cycle, too weak for hurt, so brittle..
Still trying to solve love's riddle.

Its funny, thought I was so in love but it was phoney.
Acting like he really cared but he was faking.
Pretending to be mine but he was taken.

Reliving the stupid mistakes I keep making.
The same patterns I'm repeating.
Hoping he was the one.. Oh where has true love gone?

The cut so deep, so raw, but its healing.
Betrayed, enraged, had me grieving.
But now I'm strong, so long to dark nights and empty mornings.
Now you're gone there'll be no more mourning.

My heart is guarded- locked up with chains, protected.
Aching for release, eager to beat once more, full of love's bliss.
