The Child’s Bleeding Heart

When I was young, I had a big heart,

With plenty of love ready to be ripped apart.

I'd show it off to all I would see,

But they wouldn't return any to me

For I had a problem, in their eyes.

A problem with sharing my love with their lies.

Don't drown yourself in love,

My friend,

When no one's there to drink.

You put yourself there, 

Please know your heart is not a sink.

And if you think that you can swim

I'd rather well would like,

To see you wade yourself away

And swim on out of sight.
