You stole my heart,

Dug your teeth in deep,

Leaving imprints,

Scaring it for all eternity…

Everything in my being,

Screaming no, 

Don’t give him all your desires…

But my soul,

Had no leash, when it came to you…

Now my soul is wrapped,

In briars, 

With walls that reach past,

The heavens…

But in all you taught me,

That even on, the coldest days,

The rays from the sun,

Can reach out,

Warming the frozen parts,

Buried deep within my bones…

Now I know heartbreak,

Now I know how to love,

But most of all,

I know how to be loved…
