When I love
I love hard
Because on my sleeve
I wear my heart
From the moment
I’ve decided you’re the one
My heart opens up
And my walls come crashing down
When things get shaky
And our bond begins to break
I reach deep within and pray
We overcome the troubles of this quake
But should things fall apart
I’ll pack up my feelings neatly
and quietly leave to mend my broken heart
How I choose to heal
Is to block out what I feel
To numb myself down
So in tears I don’t drown
With each passing day
I rebuild my walls
Each stronger than the last
Each one cushioning my fall
The higher I go
The clearer I see
I was a fool to let you in
But that’s all on me
I live and I learn
and with time I become wise
Learning from my broken heart
Not giving it to you twice
Now I’m in my castle
Sitting on my throne
Fixing my crown
Proud of how much I’ve grown
With words you could tear me down
And bring me to my knees
But now they fall on deaf ears
Because you I no longer need to appease
Now you’re the one begging and pleading
For an ounce of attention
Because no one else can give you
My brand of affection
But my emotions for you
Are long gone and forgotten
Dead and buried
Memories erased and rewritten
