A Wounded Heart

A wounded heart is so very hard to see
Especially when it happens to you or me

We protect ourselves with a cloak of steel
And put on a front of how we really feel

Sometimes we need to open that door a crack
To let in that loving feeling we so often lack

It is hard to admit to ourselves out aloud
That often we are just hiding amongst the crowd

Keeping ourselves so busy to keep that feeling at bay
When what we really need is love in our own special way

To have that someone special to stand by our side
To throw open our heart and spread our love wide

Together as a team but with our own space as well
A match made in heaven not a match made in hell.
