Risky Business

by Amber B

Wearing your heart on your sleeve
can be risky at best
never mind the fact
your heart should belong to one
and you're willing to give it to
another.

Setting yourself up for heartbreak
blood pumpin'
your chest aches

Guilty thoughts
quietly tear
your heart sleeve rips

Tattered torn and broken
pourin' yourself a drink

Is it worth it to put your heart out there
anymore
In the dirty streets
where people love to hate?

No it's not but yet I choose to keep on doing it. Gosh, I'm dumb. I can relate to this all too well.
