Wounded Heart

Wounded heart

bleeding from inside

a part of my soul

has withered and died

To know what I have been through

and to hurt me this way

has renewed my belief

that love is not here to stay

I am not meant for love

nor is it meant for me

my heart, my soul, my spirit

is meant to be free

I have always been a woman

who has survived and been strong

but I am only human

and it has been so long

I am shattered in pieces

weakened by pain

and there's only so much

my spirit can contain

I am now a woman

broken beyond repair

for life is tough

and rarely is it fair  ..

I am ready to let go

give in and not fight

and pray to God above

to give me some respite

The lock has been broken

and forever more I have changed

released from the grips of love

never again will I be chained

I am out of this game

and numbness has set in

for one cold & lonely day

has changed me within....
