My Heart

There’s a lot to look at
Hidden deep within my soul.
There is a lot going on
No one else will ever know.
There’s a lot of held in joy,
And a lot of hidden pain,
Because I’m not sure that by sharing it
There’s anything to gain

There may have been a time
I didn’t hold my heart so close,
Before heartache was given
To me in a healthy dose.
Before I had my heart broken
By someone I once could trust,
Before they took my feelings
And grinded them to dust

It’s said that time can heal
Any wound within your heart,
But I’m not quite sure that’s true
Because mine’s still in broken parts.
I’ve tried to patch it up
So I can take if off the shelf,
But I’ve started to fear
I can’t do this by myself.

But how am I supposed to place
My heart in someone’s hands?
I’ve kept it to myself so long,
I don’t know if I can.
I’m asking you to help me
Find a way to trust again.
I’m begging you to prove
That I can still believe in friends.

I’m showing you a window
To my broken heart and soul,
And hoping you can care enough
To help me make it whole.
And if you can I’ll trust in you
And you can count on me
Anytime you need a loyal friend,
Just look, and there I’ll be.
