Lately, I've been in a state
Of utmost lack of inspiration
The words I'd like to write don't flow
The racing heart I had wont go
My romance has run dry
I've built a lock around my heart
For now, the sign says 'do not enter'
For now, my mind says 'stay on track'
For life has much to offer
Often too much focus on those people
Who brought a smile to my face
Or a flutter in my stomach
Or a sweet swell within my chest
Or a head so full of daydreams
So many wishes will go unfulfilled
But that's the way things have to be
I can and will not force my heart
Upon another human being
And so I think, and meditate
On what I felt was right
I question all my sanity
And feel as though I wasn't bright
The past has passed, what's felt was felt
I'm living in this world unharmed
My heart was touched, and now it's not
I guard my heart, my soul is armed.
