My heart had become stone Like a victim of Medusa's stare Cold, hard and lacking of any love I thought it'd be trapped for an eternity or two But along came a shy girl Such a surprise to me I wondered what her intentions were Curious, and slightly stricken This girl knew what she wanted She began to chip away at this encased part of me Every day, a little more would come off So diligent, she worked with a sense of determination I showed her there was more to this That there was something under it all Even though she could of walked away What she did was stay Even when the rocky slab seemed like it couldn't break She still pressed on, undeterred Until one day, it finally happened What was nothing but stone, now resembled a heart And for her hard work My heart was hers And once again to my surprise Her heart became mine Such luck and such beauty out what I never thought could be

A Heart
My heart had become stone Like a victim of Medusa's stare Cold, hard and lacking of any love I thought it'd be trapped for an eternity or two But along came a shy girl Such a surprise to me I wondered what her intentions were Curious, and slightly stricken This girl knew what she wanted She began to chip away at this encased part of me Every day, a little more would come off So diligent, she worked with a sense of determination I showed her there was more to this That there was something under it all Even though she could of walked away What she did was stay Even when the rocky slab seemed like it couldn't break She still pressed on, undeterred Until one day, it finally happened What was nothing but stone, now resembled a heart And for her hard work My heart was hers And once again to my surprise Her heart became mine Such luck and such beauty out what I never thought could be
