Scared Heart

I tell you I’m down for anything and I am but deep down common sense tells me 
not to give in so easy. I’ll tell you thing you don’t want to be in my mind for it’s a 
very dirty place. Yet I act the way I think, which in some ways it is a shame. I may 
be quiet my mind is never quiet. Some days I wish I could show you the way my 
mind works, but I can’t because you would turn and walk away. It’s because of 
my mind that I wont let you in my heart. The fear of getting hurt is so strong. But I 
think it’s to late for my heart. Late at night my heart aches, I don’t know why but it 
does.
