Trapped

Thy heart is locked within a jar
Hindering my feelings to stray far

The touch of one held highly dear
Washed away by my lingering fear

Of being hurt again so bad
By another, my heart left sad

I see you there, your hand stretched out
But my heart is masked in doubt

I am afraid to let you in
For fear our love will end in sin

Please believe me when I say
'My love is true, but stay away'

My broken heart has yet to heal
From the pain that felt so real

My only hope - that you can wait
And for freedom, for thy heart, not late

It shan't be long before I'll be
Able to love and my heart free.
