Pierced

Tender Heart—Shattered and abused
Protected by walls—Strong and well used
Openly, and heartfelt—Love Ninja intrudes

What?—How? Why?

Wonderful feelings—unable, no, unwilling to fight
In the clouds flying high—Loving him with all might
Walls—What walls? They’re nowhere in sight

Gone—words nearly disappeared
Just as the heart has always feared
The heart is left only in tears

Love Ninja pulling away
Giving less and less everyday
As if there is nothing left to say

Lonely words and a pierced heart
The only evidence left over from the start
