Clamped shut, barricaded, sealed
A once tender organ now protected by steel
Fiercely guarded with might
No one breaks through without a fight
Self preservation caused heart to flee
Days now approached with dreaded misery
Heart longs for fellowship, cries alone
Never intended to impersonate stone
Innocent, trusting, naïve
Learned the hard way; others deceive
Seclusion a lonely jail
Yearn to break free from this prison cell
Master gently wields instrument of precision
Breaking through damaged heart with delicate incision
Kind-hearted, gracious and true
Relationships begin to blossom anew
Icy tentacles melt away
Heart rejoices over victorious day
Tender healing begins to flow
Looking forward as friendships grow
Sounds hopeful…I like that. 🙂 <3 you!
