Grip of Love
Needing something to strengthen my heart,
To thicken the walls of its fragile exterior,
As my heart lay in your hands,
Trusting you with everything precious to me,
You squeeze so tightly time and time again,
Then release it just before it breaks,
Until it's almost better again,
And just as my trust and strength increases,
You tighten your grip and take hold again,
Crushing the walls of trust you've built,
I hesitate this time like the others before,
To trust you, love you & give you all I have,
Hoping that this time you won't squeeze,
Hoping to many walls aren't broken,
So many that next times all I have will break,
Leaving in your hand a debris of rubble,
Rubble of ALL that is precious to me,
in the hands of one that said they "loved" me.
