A Naive Heart
A naïve heart listens to words of hope,
susceptible to the promise of love.
But when fragile feelings walk a tightrope,
all it takes is an emotional shove.
Hope steadied your every step from the start,
yet your anxieties intensified.
And like a festering wound in your heart,
betrayal pushed trust's safety net aside.
You'll never be so gullible again,
having felt the sting of love lost to time.
Yet, acknowledging love can inflict pain
does not make it feel any less sublime.
And though a hurting heart might disagree,
you can't cage love; it will die if not free.
