I've always guarded my heart.
I keep a cage around it,
Protecting me from the blade of love.
But the moment I gazed into your eyes,
those bars came crashing down.
For I gave into the sweet call of love,
Casting out reality.
I let you hold the blade up to my heart.
I answered every text.
I laughed at every word that left your lips.
I blushed every time your gaze passed over me.
I wish I could've seen it sooner.
I wish I would've seen the truth before me.
You did not love me,
You wanted to explore the person hidden under fabric.
You wanted to see the parts of me no eyes had been laid on.
I saw through your facade.
And I ran.
My efforts were in vain.
It is hard to run when you're carrying a broken heart.
