Old Enemies

*Shell*
I shed the tears that are from a broken heart,

The heart shattered into pieces with gain of news,

I shall remain in the dark shadow cast over me from this.

My trust to never be taken again,

Heart on my sleeve has been torn,

I am overtaken by thy past emotions.

Shall this day be a lessson learned,

My wall shall for ever remain up,

Never to be broken through again.

    Like the Wizard of Oz tells the Tin Man who asks for a heart... "The problem with hearts is that they can be broken." I hope yours mends over time.
