Hard Heart
Folder:
Learning from the Past I don't want to break your spirits
like mine have been broken,
but that's what I'm doing.
It's like I can't help it.
I can't stop the critical words
from departing my lips.
It's an involuntary reflex
like a knee-jerk reaction.
I don't want my hard heart
to hurt you anymore
because it causes me pain too.
I want to be kind to you;
I wish I could be
a soft place to land.
I want to help you become better
just like you are making me
a better person too.
