A poem for my heart

Heart, 

I know we've been through some pretty tough things before

leaving us broken and wounded, 

scratched and tore.

I know we grew strong and numb to the pain

and we built these walls to keep safe from the rain.

I know we don't trust, because we can no longer be trusted, 

and how it was hard at first, but then we eventually adjusted.

I know we don't love for long

If even at all, 

but Heart, I want to love

and I want to fall. 

I don't want to be broken, 

and my wounds can heal, 

I don't want to be numb, 

I want to feel.

What do I need to do to make it alright,

so i can love in the day too and not just the night?

Heart, 

I know we've been through some things in the past, 

but I want a real love this time, 

and I  really want it to last.
