a lesson learned
∞
i fear my heart has closed the door
and
thrown away the key…
i can no longer allow
anyone
to come
anywhere
close
to
me.
∞
one could say
i have always been rather transparent
and
open to a fault
but
ever since the day my heart was gouged,
i have kept the remaining scraps
locked away in a vault.
∞
i learned a lesson the day he turned away,
a lesson i will never forget…
there are places deep within oneself
best left untouched –
locked away –
until
one’s
death.

i thought i had learned this lesson the last time. i was wrong. never, ever again. i cannot – i will not break anymore.
