My heart
The very best part of me
Holding the love
That has always been a part of me
Lying at the heart of me
No matter how tough life got
I knew i could stay strong
As long as i my heart to keep me moving on

My heart
That sped at the sight of you
My love
That with each moment in your presence grew
I had never knew that kind of love
Before you

My heart
The one i trusted you with
My love
That I gave so selflessly
Because you said that together
We held endless possibilities

My heart
That which you cut like a knife
My love
That you made a burden that night
As you shattered my soul
And decimated the one thing that kept me whole
My heart

And so it lay broken, ripped open
With some wounds that will never heal
Somehow the idea of true love
Became less real
Less solid than before

After our, I mean my, ordeal
It no longer provided me strength
To think about you, to care, to love
And so I no longer dared to love
for you showed me just how vulnerable it could make me
Revealing just how weak I could become
And though for a while
I thought my heart had found a home
You forced me to open my eyes
When you left me alone

So, I locked it away
My heart
And I accepted that we will always be apart
Though it still bleeds and aches inside
My heart
And I'm still hoping one day my tears will dry
For good

My heart holds my love, but also my pain
So, my soul had to hide my heart in a vault
So, I lost the best part of me
And its all your fault
