My Stone Heart

by Jaime   Apr 23, 2006


I never plan to let somebody hurt me
So I figure I'm safer when I'm alone
You could throw as many rocks as you like
But they're bouncing off my heart of stone

And then you changed everything
You caught me completely off guard
My feet were swept from beneath me
I braced myself, I was falling hard

Now I know you plan on catching me
Although I tried to push you away
I think what I'm most scared of
Is the fact that I actually want you to stay

People tell me I'm just too insecure
They're right, so just take it slow
Don't make me promises you can't keep
Don't tell me things if you really don't know

And if I decide to let you catch me
Which I am pretty sure that I will
Understand that I may be distant and nervous
But able to give you my stone heart, still

    Although the gist of il give you my stone heart does sound like more of a love poem :P i liked it all the same

    you have the vocab to be able to make your lines long and complex without ruining the flow :D

    thanks for the comment :]
    and yeah the last stanza is abit weak..

    but by then it was around 4am and i was rather tired

    and everything cant always be worth 5/5 :P

    and yeah i do hope to be more mature than most people my age..
