HEART OF GLASS

The heart is fragile, easily broken

Hope and dreams, so easily shattered

A single word can crack the surface

Damaging it beyond repair

The heart is a fickle thing

So easily given away, so trusting

Something as precious as this, carelessly passed around

The heart is the centre of everything

Once it's broken, we can try to live without it

While it's healing we can try to ignore the pain

The truth is, we can't

We feel every crack, every fissure

Every harsh word, every bit of criticism

Strikes deeply, cutting like a knife

We can't live without a heart, but sometimes I wish we could

Sometimes I would like to hide my heart

To protect it from everything and everyone

To retreat into myself, but I know that's wrong

The truth is: I would rather love

I would rather love and let my heart get broken a thousand times

Then never love at all
