Heart of Stone

Some time ago I met a man
That lived in an ancient land 
He resided in a castle. 
Away from everyone, 
That could turn his heart into stone.

Some say he was unsociable,
Others that he was lone.
Just because he lived all alone.

He had his heart broken so many times,
By those he loved the most.
But the truth is,
He was just a man,
protecting his heart,
from turning into stone.
