whole hearted

---

They’ve always warned me of my big heart

that this world would only take advantage of it

but it's never stopped me from wearing my heart on my sleeve

giving a piece of my heart to every soul that's walked into my life

deserving or not...

And I know it might seem a little reckless

to think that everyone held the same heart as me

but I’ve always been the one to see the best in people

I found myself giving the most sacred parts of myself

to the hearts of men who were never deserving

I found myself

loving too hard

holding on for too long

investing so much of my time and energy into people that thought I was simply “too much” all while making me feel like I was never enough

And trust me, the pain’s left my heart bruised

it even has a few battle scars to show how many times its been broken

but in a world that is so fearful to love

I can't help but find myself wanting to drown in love

because at the end of the day, all we really have is love

So despite how much love has hurt you

or how many times you heart’s been

broken,

pulled,

or torn into a million pieces

don’t let it defeat you

There’s beauty in the way you love

so fearlessly,

unconditionally,

and whole heartedly

don't let anyone take this away from you, love
