Barbed Wire Around My Heart Barbed Wire Around My Lips

My heart bares many wounds that will not heal mementoes of lost love and heartache time hasn't heeled I have cried so many internal tears that burned inside me as deep as the deepest sea but still no one understands or knows the pain that festers deep inside me. So I place barbed wire around my heart and barbed wire around my lips build a brick wall around me that no one can strip. I've raised the drawbridge locked the gate being a loser in love was my curse my fate. ''An old poem, the drawbridge is now down!.'' Peter Dome .copyright.2013. Dec.

I can relate to this feeling. You are a romantic at heart as I have read some of your other poetry. I am sure you have found love again. Keep up the great work.

Sorry you feel that way too Betty.. I had a date recently on the phone and the times I've seen her, you could say she was crazy for me, But , she had just come our of a bad relationship, ans dhe wasn't sure anymore. I can'y blame her. I want a relationship but when I get one, I can't cope just in case I get hurt again. Thank you so much take care. best wishes. Pete.
