Overprotected Heart

Overprotected Heart A broken heart Pieces kept together by razor wire Such pain Wounds from the last moment I saw you Did you know that your words had such power? Did you know that my heart would fall apart? No silk threads would seal the chasms It frayed and tore with every word Not a drop of blood was spilt There was none left after your attack The sharpness of the razor wire Its shiny points wrapped around my heart Stabbing into the gentle muscle Drops of blood on the tip of every blade They reminds me of your words The hurt you caused It stops others from getting in Not giving them the chance to do what you did My heart is protected from hurt From you and your meanness Protected from love and happiness All because of you
