Fix This Heart

Only time can fix this heart
That has been torn apart

With words as sharp as knives
It has been repeatedly sliced

Beaten, battered, and bruised
By all the times it’s been used

There are pieces badly broken
Because the words left unspoken

All it wants to do is hide
Because it’s seen so many lies

And every time it’s tried loving
It only caused pain and suffering

But I still have faith after all of this
That my heart will be fixed
