A Fearless Heart

When we first met it felt like spring
After months of winter weather
I hoped our blossoming romance
Would brighten up my life forever

But faint heart never won fair lady
Or indeed fair gentleman
At the very first sign of trouble
You turned upon your heels and ran

It takes great strength and bravery
To show vulnerability
It takes a fearless heart indeed
Truly to fall in love

Just like the giant guarding his garden
You built a wall around your heart
A wall impossible to scale
Serving only to keep us apart

And now we are strangers again
I will no more gaze into your eyes
As affection so sorely neglected
Rests its weary head and dies

It takes great strength and bravery
To show vulnerability
It takes a fearless heart indeed
Truly to fall in love
