My heart is on my sleeve,
Easy to access
Easier to leave.

I know it shouldn’t be this way,
So simple for me to be hurt
And for love to go astray.

I am not prepared to place a lock,
Cause my heart to shut
Or block.

It isn’t anyone’s fault but my own,
I am the one that let them
Be shown.

Maybe it was wrong to be so open,
Yet I know that my emotions
Are what I place hope in.

I sit and I wait for things to reveal,
And pray that I don’t
Regret what I feel.
