Every tear I’ve cried, Every complaint I’ve uttered, Every cry of pain I’ve screamed, You’ve been there. I’ve laid my heart bare to you, Always open, available, vulnerable. I’ve given you my all, 24/7, And yet what do I have in return? A mauled and maimed heart, Torn apart from exposure to the world, To you. Yet I can’t find a way to shut my heart, My nature won’t allow it. I will always give away before I take. I’m always open.
