Footsteps
The pieces of my broken heart
lay shattered on the floor
Was then I heard your footsteps
and a knock came on the door
I stood alone in the darkened room
and all I felt was fear
Please go away my heart is broke
and no one else comes near
So many promised love to me
and led my heart astray
But I was always left alone
to cry another day
My heart is safely locked away
to protect it from more pain
I have no trust left in me
and I will never love again
Again a knock came on my door
and a gentle voice did say
I ask for nothing for myself
and will not go away
The door it slowly opened
and standing in the light
Was the one who came to claim my heart
The one I could not fight
A hand did reach towards me
and my heart began to mend
For I knew this was my soul mate
my lover and my friend
Those walls I built around my heart
lay crumbled on the ground
And as I walk from this lonely place
I know my dream is found
