barbed heart

Barbed Heart
By: Joshua Catalfamo

I once loved, and spoke of love openly,
All that has changed,
Since my hearts been broken, my feelings have been rearranged,
I still wished to feel her love,
To see her eyes on mine,
To gaze into them and see only love,
But she stopped it,
She’d found another,
I let her go without a fight,
There will be no other,
I’ve given up on my self,
And chosen to help others,
I will fight for love,
Continue on my quest,
But only try to help others,
And try my very best,
I’ve put up a wall,
To say the very least,
To keep all out of my heart,
And control a raging beast,
You could call this beast my heart,
But it would be a lie,
It’s only what was left after all the rest had died,
So when you read this don’t be sad for me,
Be happy you’re my friend,
And that I’ll help you the best I can.
