My Heart

Never given my heart I didn't want to fall apart You see right from the start I've seen the damage love can make I knew my heart couldn't take 'Love' was never a piece of cake Seen my mom abused Something I've always refused This made me confused Seen my dad settle Think that's when my heart turned to metal But the inside is still more delicate than a petal The barrier is hard Always on guard Because the inside is deeply scarred How do you give away something that's not even yours? I'm a cancerian, shouldn't this run through my pores But I can get on all fours I can give you body, I can give you some tours. But...HE makes me want to feel When I'm with him it's so surreal I don't have to conceal Never had a man care so much At least not without 'touch' But I won't let him be my crutch He sees me I'm the lock and he's the key With him I'm free to be His priority is understanding my mind He not perfect but to me he's so kind What a wonderful find I wish I had a heart to give Then the pain I must relive In order to forgive So that I can heal So that I can deal So that I can be real But most of all so that I can feel.
