One can only do so much

A heart can be broken only so much,

Until one is too afraid to love,

Too afraid to trust,

Too afraid to open up,

One can only be betrayed to a certain point,

Until they are too afraid to let anyone in,

Too afraid to believe that someone cares about them,

One can only care so much,

Until they become bitter and cold,

Those afraid of love,

Those who can’t trust,

Those who don’t have the strength to care,

Are those who once gave so much
