Heart Block
I open my heart and let the poison in.
I don't notice it when it first begins.
But then little things begin to occur.
It's now to late for any cure.
I try to ignore these simple signs
I just sit back as the relationship declines.
Now it hurts so much I can no longer ignore.
My legs give way I fall to the floor.
I cry so much I soak the floor.
I wish the truth I had never found.
I hate this pain It hurts so much
I must stop it never be touched.
So I seal my heart In this musty tomb
Hoping someday I can heal these wounds.
Maybe then I can reach out again
And hope to find A loving hand.
