thinking that I'll still be there.

My heart has been shattered once before

And without the will to rebuild,

I left the pieces on the ground,

From each sliver of hope that escaped me,

Another wall of brick was formed.

My heart is locked inside,

Safe from the danger of hope,

the slow poison that steals our spirit when we are blinded by a twinkling eye,

A warm touch,

A tale too good to be born of truth.

I won't deny the attraction,

The way your aura pulls me in,

Sends my heart racing,

pounding from the anticipation,

But I feel the need to make it clear,

That all you can gave me is what my body craves,

Because you will never touch my soul,

And even if you pick away at my walls,

Brick by brick,

The key to my heart won't be found,

So savor in what we have,

But don't ask for more,

Don't ask me to love you,

Because I can't.

I lost the part of me that knows how.
