Rotten Fruit/Human Hearts: Bruised but not broken

Funny how much fruit and love have in common, Isn't it?

You definitely patrol the different rows of fruit in the supermarket looking for the perfect apple/orange/plum/peach and whatever. Always put the battered ones aside. You want something FRESH. How does the saying go "Don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch"? Well its the said to be same for love...

No one wants the shy/quiet/clingy/battered/baggage ridden lover. You want something FRESH. A heart that no one has tampered with yet because you don't want to deal with the insecurities that come with their past. I happen to be a brave young soul and will be the first to admit that I bruise easily.

Maybe I'm not the first...after stumbling across this Natasha Bedingfield song, "I bruise easily" I've realized that everyone has these fears and its okay. So i'm sharing with you one of my new fav songs. Enjoy these lyrics as well



I Bruise Easily lyrics

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
but its not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defenses down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

[Chorus]

Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you

So be gentle
so be gentle
so be gentle

[Chorus]

I bruise easily
I bruise easily

This video is extremely dope. The creative impact is incredible. I even teared a little towards the end. I hope this touches you as much as it touched me.

Peace & Blessings,
