I keep my heart caged
Built a Great Wall of protection
Don't let it downUntil I met the one
My safe space
My personDay by day
Brick by brick
The wall is coming downShowing what has been caged for years
The vulnerability, protection and love
I've always craved for in a relationshipEach brick showed him my trauma
He hugs me tightly on the hardest days
And on the good days tooThe cage stays put for others but not him
