I Bruise Easily
Don’t get too close
I might shut you out,
don’t talk bout love
I might add more bricks
to the chamber that shields my heart,
The fragile foundations
of my ability to love without fear
can crumble at any moment
the warning sign says fragile heart
protected at all costs,
I don’t love easy,
for fear of being hurt,
to unravel the minutiae of my heart
you might leave me exposed,
remember that I bruise easily,
So be gentle with me,
be gentle with this heart of mine …
