hardcore exterior
solid to the touch
your words a weapon & a blessing in disguise
a double-edged sword...
one side, sharp & always ready for anything
the other to pierce through one's defenses
so sharp you don't notice what's going on until
it's already happened...
hardcore exterior
carved out of ice
heart once pure & made of crystal
was broken one day
tainted innocence & future hopes soiled...
your love spilled onto the floor & through the cracks...
lost...
in its place under that hard exterior
lays a box with a heart no longer beating
drained from past memories of hurt
unresponsive to anything
nothing able to revive this dead heart...
hard exterior...like all things with time
shows its cracks
an opportunity to getting beyond that wall
breathing life into it
making love reborn...
