When too many arrows of love
are merely pretense,
a healing heart will remain
on defense.

A wounded heart
will block all attempts.

From a healer
to a dealer
experience served her
to fence the betrayal

I’m too afraid
to love again
Samuel Jones
I rebuff your advances,
to penetrate my heart,
I learned that great lesson
right from the start.
It happened when I was vulnerable,
no wiser to the game,
was played for my affection,
and have never been the same.
So try all you want,
for I’m girded to the gill,
as I meet the daily challenge,
by my strength and my will.
Mary Kirkpatrick
Rejection is such a surprise, when
love’s attempt meets its demise.
But, what is that behind your shield?
Your pain and sadness is concealed.
Mary Kirkpatrick
I’m disillusioned can’t you see,
Please, please stay away from me.
Protection is what I very much need,
Your kind of love is what makes my heart bleed.
Brenda Johnston
A broken heart
safe behind its shield
can miss new love
trying to be revealed.

Its the shield carved with lessons
and footprints of yesterday
that she protected herself from
the treacherous world

Guarding my healing heart.

Not yet ready to love again,
Still need time to ebb the pain!

You ain’t Cupid
and I ain’t Stupid

A broken heart is numb
to further damage.
Frances McCabe
My heart is not ready
to love again
Kamlesh Bhasin
Betrayed & cheated,
she moved ahead,
behind the shield of strict attitude
and promising herself
never to fall in love again.
