Broken

As soon as it begins to matter

Headlong you turn and scatter

When people get too close

You want to flee

Don’t worry friend, it’s only me.

I know the past has been real tough

Life dealt you blows all off the cuff

Like a beautiful stallion

broken by brute

At the slightest sign of

Potential hurt,

is ready bolt.

You're now under the Master’s care

His gentleness will all hurts repair

And slowly you will learn to trust

And learn to love

even if it hurts
