I can feel your broken heart
I can feel the pain
Only love can heal a broken heart
Nothing could ever be more plain
How many times have you tried
To avoid that pain again
To protect you from those feelings
Established more defenses then
How many times have you tried
To
hide your heart and soul
Avoid betrayal at all costs
As if you can’t survive the toll
How many times have you tried
To never be exposed
Your thoughts and feelings hidden
Your heart forever closed
So many strategies you employ
Afraid you might not survive
Who wants a life of mere survival
Isn’t life to be alive
Isn’t it just pure illusion
That your heart can’t stand the pain
After all you fear has happened
After all don’t you remain
A hardened heart is fragile
A closed heart can never heal
Only the vulnerable experience
What grace allows the blessed to feel
So open, open, open wide
For you that is the certain way
Only love can heal a broken heart
The time has come
to heal today
