Do Not Come To Me

Do not come to me with a heart that is so easily broken
I do not know how to be careful with it
I may not hold it safe or keep it from harm
Not because I do not want to, not because I do not care
But because I do not know how not to hurt
Even those I love the most

I come to you with a heart that cannot be reached
Because I keep it carefully locked away
If it is not touched, it cannot be broken
Because I cannot bear it, I will not bear it
The pain that must come if my heart is bruised
Even by you whom I love the most
