Unspoken Phrases

Drifter

I've never been in love before and I told you I was too scared to fall,

You told me you'd be gentle if I just let down my walls,

But the idea of letting you in made me feel small,

So I closed off my heart than revealing my feelings at all.

But that didn't stop you from committing your crime,

Because I gave you my thoughts and now I've lost my mind,

I don't know how this happened or how I missed the warning signs,

But it's too late now to get back what's mine.

I just want to know why I was a good target to prey on,

Or how you expect me to trust love when it's treated me this wrong,

I'm building my walls extra high now that you're gone,

I hope your next victim is smarter than me when you come along.
