My Heart
In the beginning of my life
My heart was a small tiny thing
Trying to keep going in this big world.
It grew to know the love of my family
And the kindness of the friends that surrounded me.
There was always a space that wasn't filled
Yet my heart still beat on
Compensating for the emptiness within.
Past loves tried to fill that empty space
Yet somehow no one ever really succeeded
The pieces just never fit.
Each time a relationship ended
The hole grew a little bigger
And my heart beat on
Making up for more that had been lost.
Each time I felt I had just about filled the space
Something would come crashing down
Wounding my heart even more.
My heart beat on
But it was feeling tired and weak
From all the energy used to make up for the emptiness
When you came into my life
It was like magic- I could sense it.
You healed old wounds
And you saw me through the hard times.
There have been many times
That I've almost given up
But you always find a way to pull me through.
And after all this time
My heart can finally relax
The empty hole has been filled by you
And your sweet wonderful love
