Freeze Your Heart Poem by Grace Hays

looking at him
wanting to touch him
oh how tempting and irresistible
wanting more than what is possible

your heart is telling you yes
while the logic in your mind says no
should you give him a chance
or should you go

trying to figure this out
how he wants to stay friends
but deep down you want more
how can it be that your heart wants him

he lies to you
tells you he cares
then he slams the door in your face
why can't this be easy

supposed to stay friends
but your heart falls anyway
it is no longer under your control
now he holds your heart in the palm of his hand

one slip up
one single mistake or misspoken word
and it could all end
you don't know what to do

just let him go
and freeze your heart
don't let him see
the tears you cry

he isn't worth the tears
but he does get a hug
from you and your heart
full of love that cannot be

freezing the heart is no simple matter
for you have been there before
when he started to protect you
and now he doesn't speak to you

off on the road
touring this country and that
only stopping by
when he thinks he needs to get away

don't let him in
just another heartache
and out the door he will be
so guard your heart carefully

never give in
to him or any man
for you are you
and if they don't like that

then they don't want you
and if he doesn't like you for you
then tell him goodbye
for that is all he needs to know

for breaking your heart isn't enough
he wants to tear you down
and hurt you again
for it seems that misery likes your company

freeze your heart
and let him go
for if he truly cares
he will let you know

he will come back
and hold you close
never to let go
so he can mend your heart

so freeze your heart
and wait for time
to right and mend things
freeze your heart
