oh hello my old heart

oh
hello my old heart
how has it been
inside my chest?

youve been broken
and damaged
from all the years
of hard abuse

although you beat
it is with great difficulty
but thank you
for still going

im trying to be
more gentle with you
yet lies cut me
deeply

the worst part is
i cannot love him
the same because of
your tears and scars

so what do i tell him
when he gives me everything
and i cannot return it
because of how scared i am
to get hurt again


aw
