BROKEN DREAMS

Author: Tamra L. Noe

I love you more than life itself 
But I’m afraid to love. 
My heart is like the fragile wings 
Of a tiny little dove. 

I'm scared to get too close. 
I feel that I can't win. 
You'll love me for a little while 
Then you'll set me free again. 

I've lived so long on hopes and dreams 
I don't know what to do. 
I don't think I can trust my heart, 
For it belongs to you. 

I know you'll only hurt me 
Yet, I still keep running back. 
Between the paths of our hearts 
There's a worn and beaten track. 

You've got my heart held on a string. 
It’s breaking right in two. 
Enough belongs to me -to hurt- 
The rest belongs to you. 

I know that somewhere in your heart 
There is a place for me. 
I just don't know how to find it 
And there's no way to make you see. 

I can only hope that someday 
You'll wake up and you'll find, 
That while my heart belongs to yours, 
Yours, too, belongs to mine.
