Afraid to love again
You tell me your different
that your love will be a lasting love
unshakeable not eccentric.
Hurt, scars, pain, and things thereof
still reside this heart tenuous
Afraid another heartbreak rough
As an old car ..dents, faded,
little smoke, and slow
scared to jump in both legs
this heart not eager and bold
Could I give my all and not know
an outcome leaving me, side of the road
like a mouse surrounded by cats ..afraid!
You tell me not to judge you by her
yes your different, but the culmination
seems could be very much the same.
Once hurt chance twice burnt?
Different lover same game
I need your love, please patience
not playing, not saying ..just afraid!

I love the metaphor between your heart and an old car. I never thought about it like that before, but it’s so true!
