frozen heart

I am hidden in a place far away

with my heart and soul locked in a chest

I am afraid, to open it again and give away the key

too hurt, too shocked to move and to act

 

feeding me your words

I was listening

fading out the truth and the world

I was caught in your web

 

I never felt this strong

yet this weak before

Never was so sure of my worth

yet never doubted my words as much before either

 

Now I know, that yours were a lie

it’s all over

you threw me away

as soon as I started to stand up for myself

 

I woke up

I am back to reality

and I am grateful for the shove you gave me

It opened my eyes – just in time

 

In hindsight, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way

Icicles around my heart will melt

the hurt will fade

the lesson I’ve learned will stay with me for a long time.

 

You left me out in the cold

but there are people who care

people who cover me

and take my frozen hands.

 

I hold my head up high

and look at my reflection without regret

everything happens for a reason

even the events that threatened to freeze my heart.
