My heart has become encased by a shell
Pain
tears
and sorrow
it knows all too well
Broken
torn
bleeding
and scarred
I constantly fear that one day it will turn hard
It seems that every friend I share my soul with
every person I’ve come to love
has been ripped away from my life
like a hand pulled from its glove
I learn to trust too easily
thriving off of close bonds
Bonds that dissolve
are broken
or die
leaving me left in tears and wondering
Why?
Why does everyone I get close to disappear
leaving me no one to share with my fears?
No one to talk to
no where to run
no one to rejoice with when the race has been won?
I can’t live my life alone
but now I’m so afraid to trust
So afraid to lose someone again
that my heart will turn to dust
I’ll tell anyone that wants to befriend me
that they are welcomed to stay
But I’ll also give fair warning
everyone I get close to is ripped away
