Tender Heart

My tender heart can not handle the pain you cause.
The pain of being squashed from your hurtful words,
The pain of being broken by unspoken actions you do.

My tender heart needs to be handled with care.
Care for what is to come within my life.
Care for what will not be joyful.

My tender heart loves you more than you know.
Know that no matter what, I will be there.
Know that no matter what, you can count on me.

My tender heart needs for you to be there.
There to love and guide me.
There to protect and not hurt me.
