Beware the Woman

Beware of a woman with a broken heart
She used to be a girl
They never see pain coming when it's just the start
But a little experience let the truth unfurl
She'll take what you have and throw it away
Just like a little girl
But bat her eyes and beg you to stay
And you'll give it another whirl
Beware the woman with a broken heart
She'll break yours to make amends
She'll claim that the two halves are better apart
She thinks that's how her story ends

Beware the girl with a fragile heart
She'll become a woman one day
Treat her right from the very start
Don't be the one to hurt and run away

Ow this hurts. I have to admit there were a few girls who's hearts I was not careful with. I too have had my heart broken at different times. Now I am especialy careful with my sweeties heart and have been blessed for 21 years by that amazing heart.
