for so many years
she didn't trust anyone
love anyone
because of him
She didn't want to get
                                        hurt
but hurt was around every
corner
              inevitable to face
She didn't want to love
       So she closed off her
heart
          boxed up her soul
wouldn't let anyone near it
         until she did
            until she was happy one day
She let him into her heart
                            *but he didn't care
