You are not afraid of new love,
You are afraid of old pain,
Of heartaches that never left,
And scars that still remain.

The memories of broken promises,
Of shattered dreams and lies,
Are haunting you day and night,
And it's hard to break the ties.

You want to trust and let go,
To give your heart a chance,
But the fear of being hurt again,
Is making you want to dance.

You put up walls and boundaries,
To keep love at arm's length,
But the fire in your eyes,
Betray your inner strength.

You long for someone to hold,
To share your deepest fears,
But the thought of being vulnerable,
Brings you to tears.

You remember all the times,
You gave your heart away,
And it was thrown back at you,
As if it was just a game to play.

You swore that you wouldn't fall,
For love's sweet lure again,
But the loneliness creeps up,
And it feels like an old friend.

You try to forget the past,
And move on from the pain,
But the memories linger on,
Like a dark and heavy rain.

You wish you could just let go,
And let love lead the way,
But you're scared of the unknown,
And the price you'll have to pay.

For love can be a fickle thing,
It can light up your world one day,
And then turn cold and bitter,
Leaving you lost and astray.

But you need to remember,
That pain won't last forever,
And that love is worth the risk,
Even if it brings you to your knees.

You need to be brave and strong,
And trust in yourself once more,
For love is not the enemy,
It's the key to open new doors.

The doors to a brighter future,
Filled with light and love and hope,
And you'll realize that the fear,
Was just a way to cope.

So open up your heart again,
And let the love come in,
For only then you'll discover,
The beauty that lies within.

You'll realize that old pain,
Doesn't have to be your fate,
And that new love can heal your heart,
And make you feel alive again.

So don't be afraid of new love,
It's time to break the chain,
And embrace the possibility,
Of a life full of love and gain.
