Can I Trust You With My Heart?


I've given it, and had it given back to me.
I've tried to give it,
But it was spit on and stomped into the ground.
I've held it when I should have given it,
And I've given it to people I shouldn't.
Its been loved and abandoned.
Its been destroyed, and picked back up.
The games they played with it.
The bumps, bruises, scars.
They all have a story behind them.

I don't want another story.
Don't be one of those stories.
My brain tells my heart not to let you in,
But my heart wants another shot.
Another shot to make my brain see that
Not everyone would do such things.
That you are the one to turn this all around.

And whats done is done.
Whats been said, has been said.
Its all behind me.
But my brain won't let my heart forget.
And theres no way I could.
All I do is look in the mirror and see myself.
My true self.
The state of the heart in my chest.

Its a war-ravaged heart.
One that has been attacked and beaten from all sides.
One that has lost every battle.
One that has yet to find its place.
Through its peril, its grown stronger,
Smarter then it ever was.
And I'm smarter now then I was yesterday.
I've learned to listen to my brain,
And not just my heart.

Don't take it if you're going to drop it.
It won't live to see another day.
It won't be able to handle another bump.
Another bruise.
Another scar.
Another lie.

So I only have one question before this
Goes any further.
Its a simple question.
A simple "yes" or "no" will do.
But it must be a sincere answer.
Can I trust you with it?
Can I trust you with my heart?
