Hurt is Love

the worst feeling of all

Is finally

Coming to understand

Nobody wants to be part of your life

To phone, to cuddle, to hold your hand

You've built up this fantasy

It didn't exist

So who can blame you

When it all desists

When the rugs pulled out from under your feet

When the fatal blow dealt

Your heart missed a beat

No-one but yourself

No promises whispered

Always up front

No strings no whimpers

All your own fault

Intuition gone wrong

It wasn't meant to happen

From now on I am strong

The days are now!

Practicality rules!

No-one gets that close

My heart a locked room

No prancing around in fantasy land

No dreams in my head

Barriers up to the man

To think of myself

From now on it's true

Selfish it's not

Survival the rule

To lock up the heart

And keep far apart

The emotional side

The physical task

So i'm stronger now than I ever was

Emotions in check

But!

No love!

No trust!

Maybe why i'm thinking

It's better to have

The heart under wraps?

Or closeness with love?

To risk being hurt is part of our strife

But! to take no risks at all

Barren would be my life

hope is the watchword

so I will take

small steps out again

Make the break

Slowly i'll go

So as not to fall

Ever watchful and careful

So I may stand.. once again tall
