how we are governed by the past,
fear of love and trust,
making our view cloudy and overcast.
We spend our days,
building walls to hide behind,
not realizing even with those walls,
we crave love of a special kind.
We think life is easier,
without anyone allowed near,
we would rather hide away,
not truly facing our fear.
We fail to see a harmless heart,
that may come our way,
for we fear to trust,
so at arms length we make them stay.
We find reasons,
to not allow ourselves to feel,
knowing if we do,
then we would have to accept what is real.
The harmless heart loves on,
offering all they have to you,
but still we shy away,
fearing what this love to us would do.
Just make sure
in reflection when alone,
this is truly what you want,
keeping your heart locked up in stone.
