My heart is broken…yet again
By one I’ve dared to love
I wipe away another tear
Screaming out to God above
Why do I always choose to love?
A man that will bring me pain
He sleeps while my heart is torn in two
My soul and body drained
His words have cut me to the core
Why did I ever think I’d win?
In the game of love; the dice are thrown
It’s ending…the same as it’s always been
The love I give is never enough
To change the outcome of the past
Though I’ve prayed for love a thousand times
In my life …it never seems to last
You’d think I’d learn to protect myself
To let not another person in
Keep up a wall to protect my heart
See love… as a deadly sin
For each time I love; I lose myself
Lose another piece of heart to the pain
Why can’t I accept it’s just not meant to be?
And not open my heart up again
I want to live each moment alone…
Enjoy the man; yet never open to love
Keep my heart… in a cold icy place
Forget the fairy tales I’ve dreamed of
Because life doesn’t bring the prince anymore
My soul-mate truly doesn’t exist
Love is… but a dream never achieved
Its lure I must learn to resist.
