When you knocked 

Upon my door 

I did not answer 

Still you stepped across my threshold 


When I looked up 

Upon your face 

I did not see you anymore 

Still you did not care 


When I asked you 

To please go away 

I shut the door and hid away 

Still you entered anyways 


Now my trust in you 

Lays in the broken pile 

Of my broken innocence 

The one who I trusted 


Now the secret is unspoken 

Though my fear lingers within 

Because you stepped across my threshold 

When I asked you to please leave
