Armored Heart
Beaten and battered my heart is scattered
Scarred and used, sad and bruised.
But what would be a heart untouched?
Barren without a soul to clutch.
I am angry with you, heart of mine
Locked behind doors, tangled in vines
Hiding from love, behind my chest
Covered in armor, a bullet-proof vest.
Can you be healed? Can you survive?
I love without life, I dare you to strive.
For the empty holes in you have stopped eating.
I know you’re alive, I can feel you beating!
Why must you hold in all of your secrets?
I scream out to you: “That is no way to treat us!”
Our mind, our soul, our zeal to console
Endeavor to fill a vacant hole.
What do you need to tell us the truth?
The lies have expired, the pain is on you.
One day, I hope, that you will recover
And be able to give your love to another.
