My Guard
My heart is cracked
..it aches
I use it carelessly
..it shakes
I must be wise now
..it’s sore
It can withstand the blows
..no more
I let it fall so hard
..again
I must shelter it
..from pain
I should be more aware
..it’s sad
From all the heartache
..it’s had
I’ll never fall again
..so hard
I must once more keep up
My guard.
