Heart Shaped Box

My heart is like an empty box,
with a tightly fitted lid.
Where once was filled with love inside,
and my feelings there once hid.

This time before when this small box,
was full of life and wonder.
Soon after many loves had gone
had made it's fullness plunder.

The little that was in the box
of what was once inside,
I gave it to one single love
but to myself misguide.

And slowly he began to take
each piece inside my heart,
and throw it one by one away
and left me in the dark

So now here is my empty box
A symbol for my heart.
Where once was filled with hope and love
That easily fell apart.

Be careful whom you give your heart.
You don't want to live in fear,
A lesson that was hard to learn
as I watched it all disappear.
