My Empty Heart Poem by Bgb radley

If you leave me ill truly be through
I'm teetering on the edge it's true
I have suffered great loss, as of late
Can't survive more torture or hate

I have hurt you beyond repair
Deceit, half truths, you feel I don't care
Honesty is important to you
I was scared and knew not what to do

Please don't go with an untrusting soul
I would be lost in life with no role
I've never trusted a man until you
It's breaking my shattered hear in two

You are such a kind, fair, loving man
Treat me like gold whenever you can
I always come first when it's tough on you
I don't put you first, I now see that too

You think I'm using you, a free ride
So far from the truth, need you to guide
Until you I haven't loved a man
Abuse thwarted me, don't know if I can

Talk about baggage, I own it in scores
Please don't give up, salt in open sores
Give me a chance to absorb your love
I'll open my heart and trust God above
