To Trust my Broken Heart

A reflection on the past.

My bleeding heart is lying crushed inside your hand

But deep inside I know you’re still a good man

You never asked me to fall for you

But I guess that’s what too much kindness can do

Your cheerful smile pierced my heart

You had me hooked right from the start

As our happy memories grew

So did my loving feelings for you

You were the first to rip my heart out

Though surely not the last, no doubt

Hatred wanted to shield my tears

But I know you are not a monster to be feared

For if nothing else, I trust my heart

It saw the reasons that made love start

The kind, warm memories that we shared

Your good soul is the reason they are still there

I know you are a good man, see

My heart did not lie to me

The wound is still tender but healing fast

Its time to move on from the past
