even the heart of a lion so strong and brave still grows in love
no matter how prideful and humble it's all i  think of
the men i grew with showed me affection and betrayal
everything i thought love was like was a false portrayal
my chest is always full with doubt or devotion
sometimes even both causing a commotion
whispering to myself if this is really worth it
because sometimes it feels like i'm painting a portrait
of my sadness and putting it into another person
but really its just i found another version
of me and now i finally can see
and understand life isn't so blurry
love gives me purpose and hope in life
one day i want to be called someone’s wife
all my hopes and dreams are stored into someone’s palms
them holding my heart as i bleed away the psalms
i pray to get the chance to meet my twin flame
the one who will be a balm to all the pain
keeping their promise for me to not feel it again
because i don't want my love to end
even the heart of a lion is so fragile and delicate
it has once felt so broken and desolate
but as the men i grew with showed me truth and eternity
everything i thought love is was an uncertainty
the weight on my shoulders grows heavier day by day
with the games the devil loves to play
on me but finally God has saved me with this presence
and i am grateful for the granted patience
the men i grew with
they were the ones who helped me sprout
into an angel on earth, a heaven unknown
no matter how hard it was to accept my growth
i know this is my destiny
love is meant for me
from the bottom of my heart i put my courage into God’s hands
i once thought as time goes on it’ll feel like a contraband
a ***** deal that whisked me into a coward
but that is not me anymore i have flowered
a being of nature breathing only for myself
without the help of anyone else
because when the men i grew with left my life
this heart of a lion felt real love.
