Who Broke Your Heart

I wiped away your tears red-cheeked as you cried away your fears who broke your heart this time, my dear? Standing at my doorstep you knocked soft and gentle wept when I opened up the door unlocked and kept. In my arms, you fell inconsolable with your woe unhappy tears that tore apart your very soul why did this happen to you again I'll never know. I took you in and sat you down to wipe your eyes without a word you continued your untethered cries where had your heart been torn in another goodbye? Embracing you in love's sweet wrap tempered the cries became a solaced whimper how does this keep burning your heart's embers? I hold you close in comforting composure you are another love's battle soldier but here I am, the one who consoles you. I'm here for you, open your eyes to see there is a dream you could easily set free a love that will never break your heart, it's me.
