A Secret

A little secret for me to share
My heart could be classed as stone
But the comfort bringer to my friends
But no peace I bring to my own
I cannot share in love experience
I have had very little to tell
But my heart I have locked
And barricaded well
I see my friends in trouble
All because of hearts
So to protect myself
I've placed it distances apart
So forgive me my weakness
I don't know how to act
I know how to bring comfort
But not to interact
So I plead guilty
To a heart of stone
I can't let anyone close
I keep it my own
I want to give it to someone
To let them hold it for me
But I'm too scared i'll get hurt
Or no-one will want me
So my secret it out
Please don't judge too fast
I desperately want love
But I want it to last

Please tell me what you think

    At this stage of your life many will be eager to look after your heart. Whether they will do it in the manner you want is a different matter. Hope it will be the right person and your stony heart will melt with love. And how long that love will last nobody knows - let us hope it will last forever and you will live happily ever after.

    Aw, i'm sad now... Damn yr powerful poemz.

    I really like your use of rhyme, it's practical and it always fits, but it's not strictly conventional, which is maybe just as much of a statement, if not moreso, than not making stuff rhyme at all.

    Much respeck. Yeah, respeck. You got it.

    Excellent!

    I can perfectly relate to this.. Are you sure you are not ME writing this??
    Excellent wording and flow.. I can really feel you there. and especially here:
    "But the comfort bringer to my friends"
    Hell! I know what that is like.. people even start to say..we never see you cry or you are soo strong.. *that it makes me weak!*

    I would remove the "but" in the third line though.. You could make it like this "A comfort bringer..." instead.

    I may be out of applauds but this poem deserves all 3! So you shall get them!
    Keep on writing,

    Nooni
