My Grand Fault Poem by Danny Speicher

Been told at least a thousand times before
That the heart is vulnerable within
And to let someone break it is a sin
To beware of risks and to slam the door

And I have found a thousand times before
That the heart is vulnerable within
As girls have taken my love for a spin
And then left my heart bleeding, crushed and torn

But, if my grand fault is letting love in
Trusting a girl who has hurt me before
And choosing to trust, not slamming the door
Let me sin and, if need be, sin again

For if, when I die, the worst they can say
Is that I was a fool who loved too much
Who never was calloused from pain's cruel touch
Then, I might so die satisfied that day

Love isn't always a muse's sweet touch
It isn't always a bright, sunny day
In fact, more often it isn't that way
But, you fight through the less to get to the much

And if my grand fault is letting love in
Trusting a girl who has hurt me before
And choosing to trust, not slamming the door
Let me sin and, if need be, sin again
