Denise Elizabeth Poet Rhyme

The Open Heart

You asked me to open my heart to you
You said I absolutely must
You said that you would take good care of it
If only I would trust

You asked me to open my heart to you
I told you I was full of pain
For I had opened my heart before
And every day it rained

You asked me to open my heart to you
That you were not like the rest
That I would find a safe place in you
My trust you would not test

You asked me to open my heart to you
And looked me in the eye
Promised you would never leave me
But that was just a lie

You asked me to open my heart to you
I did it, I let you inside
Now in the place where our love used to lay
A relentless heartache resides

You asked me to open my heart to you
Now we don’t even speak
The pain and the sorrow of our loss
Has made me very weak

You asked me to open my heart to you
You know how the story goes
After making myself so courageous
Now you want it to close

You asked me to open my heart to you
I am not sorry I tried
For the day we say no to love in our life
Is the day we have truly died
