I wanna give my heart out
To someone who will hold it
But all that has happened
Is everyone has broken it
So I've learnt not to trust
To keep everything inside
Now i know i'll never
Ever be a bride
So barbed wire surrounds it
Try your hardest to get in,
If you can survive scarring
Maybe i'll let you in
But until that day comes
And my armoured prince arrives
I shall keep my heart in barbed wire
Guarded with knives
I wanna give my heart
Maybe I'll give it to you
But trust me when i say this
Break it, ill break you
Ive had just about enough
I cant take it anymore
If i have to protect myself, ill do it
Its been broken too many times before
So hold me with tenderness
And love me and my heart
And maybe with this barbed wire
It'll come away from my heart

wow very much to the point. I know love can hurt big time and you keep protecting yourself until you find the right guy. Very well done I love the message of this poem. Thanks for entering and best of luck!

Excellent!
I can really relate to this poem! You did an excellent job writing this piece. My heart has broken to many times by women I trusted, loved and gave myself to. I know exactly how you feel, protecting your heart. I also like the anger/bitterness you express here. Excellent poem!
