A jar of wishes

key to my heart

The door to my heart is closed.
All entry is denied.
For once I refuse to be loved,
Because I'm always left behind.
I thought that no one would try to open that door and enter my mind.
I thought nobody would think that I was worth a moment of their time.
And then you came along,
And broke down all my walls,
My layers of defense quickly began to fall.
You tricked me into loving you,
You made me fall for your smile
You made me fall for your imperfections,
And...
Everything was perfect for a while.
And then I opened my eyes
And saw what you did to me.
You tore me apart
Made me vulnerable and weak.
You broke my heart apart with words of hatred
And I had no defense against those words you had stated.
I was once filled with hope
I was once filled with joy
I hope you're happy now that all that is destroyed.
You broke down those walls I spent years building
You broke me apart with everything I was feeling.
You took my love and turned it to poison.
And now I lay here, scolding myself
Why did I let you in?
You put my heart to the test.
Why did I fall for your tricks?
I should have known you were like the rest.
These tears slip out of my eyes,
They have never fallen before
These tears slip out of my eyes,
And you only cause more.
I should have know better,
Than to think that you were different.
I was about to toss the key,
But you stole it before I finished.
