To a new Lover

Think before you take me
You have to understand
You need to be able to see
Exactly who I am

I have been hut in the past
I am still that wounded dove
My heart still has a cast
And my worst fear is falling in love

Relationships, I am scared of them all
My feelings are locked away
But don’t think of me as an empty hall
I just don’t want to be hurt at the end of the day

To an observer I may seem fine
But inside I am hurting to the core
But your love can change that on a dime
Thought I am afraid, I will open this door

I don’t fully understand how you feel
But I know you will not harm me
With the empty cracks in my heart, you will seal
I know this is how love should be
