I See The Heart Poem by Aplier Hao

I can see the heart
As ghostly as mine
Fragile from the start
Hurt painfully by time

The shield blocks out pain
But also the love
My heart thrown out again
All I can think of

Is how much I got hurt
And knowing that I must
Now be more alert
Of who I can not trust

My paper heart
Beat by scissors
Who die to rock
Which lives no more

My paper heart
It covers all
Yet naught comes in
The shield stands tall

My paper heart
Is oh so small
Yet it's untouched
The shield stands tall

My paper heart
It starts to fall
No one catches
The shield stands tall

I've built up this shield and look what it's done
I made it so that these things were gonna come
I loved and lost, and now my world's gone
It may never come back and I'll be all alone

I feel I'd rather have not loved at all
Cause I still do and look how far I fall
Now I'm left with nobody to call
My one best friend.

I tried too hard to have what I shouldnt take
There were some things which I shouldnt have faked
Even though I have made all these mistakes
I've learned from them.

I always loved her from the start
From the very bottom of my heart
I wish that we would never part
Ever again.

I long to feel her warm lips
Pressed against mine in a beautiful kiss
And so now I will promise
These rifts I'll mend

It's time to shut up again.
Time to hold myself in again.
Until the end.
