listening
to brokenhearted records on replay
covering my heart in each lyric
as if they were a shield for cupids arrow
refusing
to ever be shot again
this is war
and i have lost
far too many battles by letting my heart be vulnerable
good soldiers
know their own weakness
and refuse to let that
be the death of them
i died
if only for a moment
but in my resurrection
i vowed
to never die again
so now i
treat every situation as if it is disposable
take no chances
i keep
my heart in a glass case
behind a concrete wall
buried deep beneath my minds sensibilities
because i know
i know my own heart
cannot be trusted
it loves too easily
it falls too fast
it opens too quickly
then
without any warning
it breaks
so i
pick up the pieces
and wrap them
in brokenhearted lyrics
as i remind myself
that heartbreak is forever
and lonely
is the nightmare of soldiers who continue to let their heart be a target
i may have lost many battles to love
but i refuse
refuse to lose the war
