Over the years br a layer of stone has formed around my small heart br ever time someone hurt me br wronged me br lied to me br or every time I suffered br the layer would grow br it has become so thick br I now hold a black heart of stone br I know my real heart still beats with in it br but day by day it beats slower br how do I set it free br for the stone repels all happiness br all love br all joy br it swells from within with pain and suffering br how do I break through the stone br without breaking my heart within it br for I have became so cold br so dark br without my heart to warm me br with out love and happiness br I ache from within br the coldness from my stone heart br has started to freeze me from within br I am almost completely frozen br I am so cold br I do not know how much longer I can survive br my coldness drives all away br but I need them br I need them to help me break through the stone br for I can not do it alone br I need to find my true love br true happiness br only once br my true love touches my heart br will the stone turn to sand br leaving my heart free to love br free to feel br something besides br pain and suffering as it has for years br for with the sand br all the pain and suffering from my past will just wash away br never to return again br my heart will finally be warmbr br Scarlet .....
