IMPRISONED

Broken heart mended with misery’s tears
Carefully guarded with lock and with key.
Sheltered from love for the rest of my years
My heart protected from more injury.
Being alone was my greatest of fears
Working to bring back the person that’s me.
Then, into my life you happened to stride
Picked up the pieces and made me your bride.
