Guarded

I was well enough on my own,

Setting boundaries for all good.

But you jumped right over the fence,

Breaking the boundaries I created.

You understand why I'm guarded.

You tried to make me feel all good,

But somehow I still fear that

What if you turn out to be like him?

What if you use me, if I give myself to you?

What if you hit me, if I don't listen to you?

What if you make me feel like garbage?

What if you insult me in front of everyone?

You wanted to love me,

But I made you walk out

I watched you to forget me.

There's a brand new girl around you.

I hope you get what you wanted from me.

I made you walk out,

But I'm the one who's hurting.

I'm the one who's alone.

I'm the one who's still guarded.

I hope that one day I can learn to trust again.

I hope that one day I can open my heart to love.

But for now, I need to heal.

I need to learn to love myself first.
