My Stubborn Heart Just Won’t Love You

… But my heart just wouldn’t love you.
My body selfishly wants to take all of you,
Hoping it would melt this heart of mine.
And Give it a reason to let you in;
Just like July welcomes the rain off the hills of Africa.
I tried my best to negotiate with it,
But it has a mind of its own.
It’s been broken beyond my rib-bone.
And collapsed to a loving someone deep.

… Don’t say you’ll wait.
What happens when time passes like a bus ride?
And we are still here where it all began.
Wouldn’t I have taken too much from you?
Oh! It’s not you.
I love every moment we spent together,
The intimacy we share is beautiful.
But I battle my heart still to love you as my woman.
A war I haven’t won still.

… Don’t say it’s me that’s not trying.
Kills me more that you can’t see I want you most.
But how do we build rail tracks on a collapsed mine field?
For my heart has ran away from where its once was.
I hate that I make you smile so much,
And yet I can’t give what would make you smile longer.
Im crying out to you – save me.
Oh! My stubborn heart wouldn’t love you.
