Stupid promises broken,
again and again.
How do I hide the hurt?
How do I stop the pain?
Do you really mean
those soft words for her?
You said them to me
not long ago. Remember?
No more tears will fall,
I refuse to play the part.
You can't hurt me anymore
I've closed off my heart.

Dee* The pain of this one is felt deeply...
when we close and lock the door the pain
remains. Great writing...with a tear~

Butterflies dc, if we close the door, doesn't it mean no more pain can come in? Thanks for reading.

Kit, Thanks for the hugs and the comment.

Painful read and though a door may be closed there may still be a draft...the only way to really free your heart is to air it out over a period of time.  Excellent write.

I feel for you.  I'm going through the same.
Sorry to say you really can't hide the pain or hurt.  I do know you'll get better with time if you let it out and express your self.
But it seems that the amount of time to heal is endless.  You just have to go on, it's all you can do.  You will open your heart again.  I will take some time.
Best wishes to you.

Cameron, thanks for your kind thoughts. It's good to be able to come here and say what I feel without having to go into details. I haven't been a member very long but the support is there anyway.
By the way, this is the first time I've seen your name, so, welcome. I know you'll like Passions, they really are like a family here.
