Mind Reader

A cheesy poem requested and written for my best friend.

 

You claim that I'm an open book,

How do you see right through me?

How did you know where to look?

 

I've been locked up,

But you've found the key.

I've always been hiding behind a somber steel cage,

Protecting myself from the hurt and the pain.

But you're pulling my heart out from its eternal ice age

 

Mind Reader,

please know,

I'm not worth the strain.

 

Ive witnessed the breakdown of the broken-hearted,

and I've seen the endless tears as they fall.

I know that heartache never ends as quickly as love started,

And thats why I've put up this wall.

 

But piece by piece and brick by brick,

You've gently made my barricades collapse.

How dearly I hope this isn't just some trick.

Do you honestly care? Maybe, Perhaps,

But don't try so hard to understand me.

Old habits die hard, or so they say.

You've started a change within me.

My hearts no longer cold and far away.

 

You claim that I'm an open book,

How do you see right through me?
