If only you can reach my heart.
For there is so much to tell,
So much that has been left undone.
I’ve love so many times,
I’ve given so freely and was
Never given in return.
I vowed I would never love again,
For when I thought love was a friend,
It was but my enemy.
But here, I consent to this love anew--
With the chance of my heart of being torn.
I offer love so true and abandon
The many times my heart has been scorned.
If by chance you can reach my heart, to
Make it good and whole again, make
My heart smile once more--then you’ll
Be the one I’ll truly adore.
And so shall be the day when love
Decides to tear us apart--broken will
Be my heart, and when you come to
Sit by me, I will already have ceased to breathe.
