It is hard to trust again after being hurt. But tears will dry and more importantly, hearts will mend.


Life Is In The Heart, Not A Tear

Come around friend once again
Don't let my rejection be the end
It's just that my heart needs to mend
From the last one who took it to tend

I can see I hurt you in my fear
And you may not want to again come near
But I need someone to make it clear
That life is in the heart, not a tear

So many I've shed since I was done wrong
I've felt I would die, the flood's been so strong
The pain, it's so deep and the night so long
Drown In My Own Tears; my lullaby song

A friend is what I need most now
To hold my hand and teach me how
To accept the words of another's vow
to love me as long as time will allow

a moving and delicate expression of the most tender kind. the vulnerability is woven throughout. I felt it deeply.
