the first time i met you
i knew you were the last man
i would ever love and i gave you my heart
i asked you to be careful with it

it was fragile from the previous breaks

gentle touches, soft caress's and
words of love oh so sweet
you would protect and love
given promise to

guard it with your very life

words of love that need to be said
but trapped in this
beating wasteland called a heart
for the things that i want and need to say

can't be said to deaf ears

broken toy tossed aside
rollercoaster ride too wild
anger, hurt, pride overlooking
her desperation and fear

pushing out all but the enemy

with every new beat
pain and hurt leaking from fresh breaks
alone once again, tis the way of things
heart shattered like broken glass

caution: heart now guarded with razor wire

thanks joyce, there is nothing left to give anyone, but God will heal with time, and the razor wire will stay in place for a very long time

I understand your pain. I do feel it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. I also believe broken hearts heal and become bigger. Someday someone is going to come along and melt that wire! Don't give up on love!

Annie, I honestly believe that someone will be by your side in "due season" and he will be the most blessed man on earth for being with you. I hope that when it happens you will let him love you and care for you as the wonderful person that you are.

a true romantic never gives up but there does come a time when caution is important. had i been more cautious this last time the wire would be gone by now.
