Behind the curtain
Her heart is safe there
From all of the pain
She just cannot bear
Another rejection
Will break it in two
Then he comes along
And he wants to know who
Who broke your heart
And how can I win
That spirit you have
Buried deep within
“I love you as is”
And he thinks he knows
But the fear deep inside –
It continues & grows
You can’t let him in
You just won’t survive
You can’t overcome
It won’t let you thrive
But he keeps supporting
Even though you push back –
It wants him to go
It wants him to pack
Every day he’s still here
And she doesn’t know why
Should she open her heart?
Should she give it a try?
With each passing day
The curtain is cracked
Just a tiny bit more
Till she stops holding back
Then the day comes
When she opens her eyes
And it suddenly dawns
That she’s won the prize
The curtain has gone
Her heart is secure
For she’s found a love
So completely pure
