Concrete Heart
Because love is hard on the outside
And on the outside I have put up walls so high no one can get in
But every now and then one person would squeeze through the cracks in the concrete
To the softness I hide inside
Only to leave back through that which they came
And now the gentleness slowly turns hard
Concrete on the inside
As my walls go higher only as the cracks get bigger
Upon this the same process repeats
p.s. like concrete I was once soft but time molded me into something firm
