Hello my name is heartbreak
I am here to steal your heart away
you never thought that I would show up and crash the show
Well I guess you guessed wrong
I creep up on you like a tiger haunting his prey
Silent yet deadly, sometimes
When you finally realize that I am there it is to late
I have taken your heart and it is mine to keep
You try and try to make a deal, but you are only making it worse for yourself
I keep your heart in a box in a safe place.
I finally bargain with you so you can have your heart back again.
You and I must play a game
What game you ask?
A simple game of chance
If you can find true love you get your heart back, but it is more complex than you think
You run around trying to find it, but you haven't tired as hard as you need to
I give you hints you where to find it at, but you never bother to listen to the words I say.
So I ask again and again "Are you sure you want to play with your heart on the line?"
You keep replying with the same one word answer that I love to hear "yes."
As we go around and around in circles we make it into a dance where I am the lead and you are the follower.
In a circle we dance on point toed shoes
You take a leap of faith into my arms, but when the curtain closes you are left alone with all your guilt and sorrows
I ask you the question again and the same answer you give is simple bliss
We keep going and going until you are finally done
You finally ask the question I wanted to hear " what is true love exactly?"  
I reply with a riddle " it is not on the surface but deep underneath, like a beast in a deep sleep."
You stop and think about how to figure out the
riddle but you can't figure it out.
As I watch you try I want to laugh
Seeing how hard it is for you to figure out a simple riddle is some what amusing
There is no time limit on this riddle
So while I wait I will play a ****** on my fiddle
While I play you think about it over and over again and you get angry at yourself for not knowing the answer
You ask the question again and I reply with the same kind of riddle
You ponder on the answer and how to find it.
You keep looking for it as if it is an object in physical form
When it come time you give up not looking anymore
You ask for the answer and I give it to you
I say " it is a simple answer to a simple riddle. The answer is you find true love within yourself. You can only find it when you finally realize that no one can love you truly unless you love yourself."
I keep your heart and you finally realize that I will keep your heart until you love love yourself confidently
Hello my name is heartbreak
And I am here to protect your heart from yourself.
Finally You come to your senses
And start loving yourself as you are ment to do in the first place.
We run into each other again and I see how you are doing with loving yourself
You have made a great leap
I give you your heart back and see if you can handle it with care
A few months later
I come to see you again
I find you in a dark alley beaten and bruised
You fell in love with a wrong type of man
I finally realized that you were not ready for you heart back
I take it and I ask "Why are you on the ***** ground in a dark alleyway?"
You reply with a simple head shake in a no idea formation.
With that I can tell that people have hurt you and he has taken away your self confidence
Wrote this a while ago just thought to get more opinions on it.
