there are so many words detailing why no one should ever love again
after their heart has been broken for the first time
but i foolish soul that i am
i open my heart to all the thieves that wish to take my love
and say, come come take from me freely
now they swarm around me
and my heart is scattered in a thousand little pieces
but still i leave it open
because one day i know someone will approach and
crawl into the space where my heart once lay
and tell me i may take theirs freely
