My soul has been tortured, broken apart
Somehow resilient, patched holes in my heart
Fills up like a balloon, then popped with a dart
Deflating down, feelings usually depart
Men always get close, keeping me safe inside
Their hearts promise healing, love to abide
My past soon revealed, they turn, run and hide
It's over to them, not for me to decide
What's happened to me, I wouldn't have chosen
Am I to turn off my heart, to be left here frozen
This fate I will bare, a noose that won't loosen
Around my weak heart, loves locked in my prison
Closing off from the pain, I can only protect
The passion I feel, he soon will reject
The body will heal, but the mind won't forget
What's left of this pitiful life, just regret
