You Can't Break This Tender Heart I've been deceived by many I've been abused by few And kicked around by ignorance And people that I knew I've started over several times And lost at many games I've had a lot of friends before And never knew their names I've fought in weary battles I've gone against the grain I've climbed a steep and narrow path In wind and mud and rain My nerves were spent in anguish My heartbeat spent in fear My spirit's void of suffering My eyes are dry of tear I've built a shield of armor Around this heart of mine Made of life's misfortunes And love I left behind So you may come into my life But please make no mistake This delicate, tender, fragile heart Is impossible to break So please don't fall in love with me Or speak words that are true Or you'll disarm this tender heart For I'm in love with you Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-06-2000).] |

i liked this poem....initially found it to be disturbing...isn't it sad that sometimes we shelter ourselves in our own safe havens and grow suspicious of human nature....? but when i came to the ending--the speaker possessed a glimmer of hope cos she(Is the speaker a "she"?),that made me like the poem even more...don't we like happy endings") |

catwoman and Rex, Thank you Kaile, it shouldn't be disturbing, It's only that experience teaches, and sometimes we're too trusting with those who can't be trusted. Hoot, You know what I mean Liz |
