Forgive me, oh heart
I have tried my hardest to protect you
To protect you from pain
And from hurt
From despair
And from betrayal
From being bent
To broken
To down-right shattered
Forgive me for my broken promises
For I promised to protect you
And I vowed not to let anyone else etch their name on you
And I promised to never again let anyone come in to see you
Yet here again I find myself wallowing in tears
Wallowing in tears filled with the pain felt from the uncertainty of love
The waivering of like
And the betrayal of lust
Forgive me, oh heart
I have tried my hardest to protect you
To keep you from the deceiving faces of comfort and hope the pain in reality can often wear
To keep you from sharing you deepest and darkest hours with the demons that hide behind comfort and hope
To shield you from the pain that caring can bring
To close the vault to you emotions
Allowing them to lie dorment in the deep recesses of your soul
To keep you in a state of blankness that doesn't allow anyone in or anything out
Yet here again I find myself wallowing in tears
Tears filled with the pain felt from the uncertainty of love
The waivering of like
And the betrayal of lust
Forgive me, oh heart
For I have tried my hardest to protect you
But I guess my best just wasn't good enough
Wasn't good enough to shield you
Shelter you
And save you
The blood of your death is on my hands
If only I had done a better job of caring for you
If only I had been careful about who I lent you out to
I wouldn't find myself here
Wallowing in tears
Tears filled with the pain felt from the uncertainty of lobe
The waivering of like
And the betrayal of lust
Forgive me, oh heart
For I have tried my hardest to protect you
Yet I have failed
Time and time again I have failed
If only I had had the opprotunity to let you know how much you meant to me
As I close the casket on you lifeless remnants
I ask for you forgiveness
For though I tried my hardest to protect you
I still ended up letting you die
