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!.''

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.
