Poetry

You somehow got behind the iron walls
protecting all that I am inside.
My heart of hearts, my soul.
You somehow picked the lock
to my facade of an impenatrable fortress.
Once you got in
I could never quite kick you out...
You saw into the depths of who I am:

My fears,
insecurities
anxieties
weaknesses
Strengths
beliefs
all I love
confidences

I let you stay
somehow thinking
you couldn't break
what I thought wasn't yours...
But you did...
Now I'm broken
And I lay vulnerable to your
Attacks.
And I love you more
Than I ever have before...
But please...
How do I get back
behind my iron walls
because there--
I am safe.
