Coffee Cup Heart
I have a a newly repaired heart
it's recovered after so much damage
and through the pain and tears
I've always seemed to manage
My heart is warm inside and
the ice has chipped away
and each and everyday
it prays that someone will stay
I rarely love with out dilution
because taking down these
walls is a danger
and I am afraid of more pollution
so often I stay a stranger
to love
Sometimes I fall too fast
and the high eventually dies
and I crash like a junkie without
his secret stash
I am addicted to falling
I can't lie
My heart craves love
but it can be an acquired taste
I have yet to find someone
who doesn't make me want to
run away
I have a coffee cup heart
so beware of me
and if your in need of a sip
I might not be the best thing for you
but you just might be the thing
that I need.
