The Protected Heart

My heart is locked inside a cage,

the place where it is safe,
no one can hurt it anymore,
ive struggled through these wars.

I thought I was ready to give my heart to you,
instead you pulled it out of my chest layed it on the floor,
stomping and kicking it right out the door,

i died a little inside my emotions were shattered,

it didnt make any sense,
So why did i even bother,

You emotionally abused me and put me down,

Im finally free and alone,
my shattered heart is now only a stone.

I took the pieces and used glue and tape,

i vow to never make the same mistakes.

My heart is full and much more stronger then ever before,

Even Though i still have it locked up with a key
I made the decision to keep the key right here with me.
