Walls

I had built tall walls
around my heart. 
Making sure they were
strong enough,
To never be torn apart.
I had pushed
Away anyone who tried
To come in,
I would never let anyone
Close enough
To win.
I became a bitter and lonely
Soul,
All because I will never be
Able to feel whole.
I've been hurt too many times
To let it happen once more.
Because if I do,
I will be more broken
Than I was before.
