Prayer of a bruised heart

Fear

Love

Disappointment 

Hope

Shame

Trust

Opening your heart

It’s like giving way to the devil

To come and wreck it

I know that everything is not that bad

But it’s still hard to understand.

You ask me 

Why I don’t believe?

I’m answering you

Why should I do it?

You want to come in my circle

Approaching me with a smile 

While wanting me to take in your poison 

Under the guise of familiarity 

Telling me they’re good intentions 

Yet I can smell your bad aspirations

I know there is good in humanity

But my space is too small to accept a society 

So, to the one who one day

Will take its place in my heart

Please, by our good god, 

Be someone who knows how to love

Because this fragile husk of mine

Is too brittle to take a dive.
