I had this up a while ago, but took everything that was on this site down. Decided to add it back, though. Enjoy.
It was a nice change in things
Made me learn to believe in dreams
Conquered fears one by one
Tore down the wall I spent
My whole life building
They told me to be careful
But I wished with my heart wide open
I fell slowly but surely
I reached out for a hand so I wouldn't drown
Psyched myself up like Rocky
Ready for a big fight
Didn't know how it'd turn out
So I hoped for the best,
But knew to expect the worst
Only this time it was different
Hope had conquered realism
I was the 'head-over-heels' girl
Desire, fear, hope ran through me
As the last of the wall fell away
I left myself open, exposed, vulnerable
I needed your help, but you shied away
Alone in the rain,
My tears mixed with the droplets
How could I have let this happen?
I spent my life protecting my heart,
Ignoring feelings so I wouldn't hurt
But you proved your worth
I broke through then saw
What I had been so afraid of
I'm back to what I'm used to,
Away from what I don't know
I've fallen back in step
With the life I've always known
But I don't want to go fully back
The fears I've conquered still linger
But if I beat them once, I can again
It's just a life experience,
Breaking your heart to learn to feel
Now it's time for another - moving on:
Loving the life I live,
Living the love I feel
With my heart wide open,
Ready to break again.
