Risk it all again

Aware of the past, both yours and mine
My heart once broken, healed back by time
I have fumbled
I have stumbled
I have crumbled
only to rise up, and risk it all again
for love.

I was once taught to enjoy the journey
and not worry about the possible tragedy
that may unfold
that may turn my heart cold
I only hope that that story
will not have to be told

Many guys have come and gone
you were trying out things
while still so young
I guess I’m a hypocrite.
As much as I try to enjoy the journey
in the back of my mind, a thought lies.
Will I be just like the other guys?
To come with hope and leave with cries
of sorrow
of pain
of suffering
and goodbyes


Time will tell
But for now
I stand before you
offering my heart
with no protection
with no shell
with no mask
weak
fragile
take it
as it is




Just don’t break it.
