broken heart

Remember the day you gave me this heart?
It was the most generous gift I've ever received
It made me realised how important the heart is to keep me alive
I understood the meaning of being alive

I know I've promised to keep it whole
To take good care of it
But judging from the way I've been
I think I've broken it a few times

Now, I'm so wary of breaking it
That I've forgotten how to give my heart to anyone
I don't know if I can ever love anymore

Love is such a confusing thing
They say love is giving
That I heeded and decided to keep my feelings to myself
For I cannot fanthom myself loving myself
Hence I don't think anyone will love me too

They say that you have to be selfish in love
That i heeded and decided to keep my feelings to myself
For I fear hurting myself
This precious heart of mine can take no more hurt

How can someone who knows not how to love, love?
Oh Father
Teach me to love again
To give my heart so freely
So generously

Teach me to mend this broken heart of mine
And
To love myself again

:)
