Fixing the Fragments

Betrayal and rejection are all I've ever known

There was no one I could trust

Because there was no affection shown

All their intentions were driven by lust.

Despite this I find myself falling for you.

I promised myself it wouldn't happen again

But still I say, "I love you too,"

I try to fight it but know I can't win

Because when you hold me close

I forget all the pain and all the tears

And even forgive the ones who hurt me the most.

A look into your eyes banishes all my fears.

So now every night I lay down and pray

That maybe this time it will last

And that you'll lead me to the day

When I am healed from the torments of the past.
