I told my security guard to leave
Though he knew it was a bad idea
Opened my house to invite you in
Even took some boards down,
and cleaned it up a little  
Letting Some light in so that it would be presentable
For you
Displayed my my heart, and trust, and parts of my mind
So that you could see
For two months I left my house unlocked,
The windows unboarded
Without my guard.
I Slept peacefully through those months,
Felt safe
But of course,
That’s when you stole from me
During the night.
But you didn't just steal anything,
Not a cup, gold, or jewelry,
Not some artifact I can replace.
No, you stole my heart, and my trust
And ran off with it , just like that
And once word got out that you stole that
Fear, Self-Hate, Anger, and Depression
Invited themselves in
Made themselves comfortable ,
holding me hostage in my own home
And taking whatever was left

For a bit of time, I was able to escape the chains
And my security guard returned
We put the boards back onto the windows and doors
And locked my house tighter than before

You stole from me.
But, I should’ve never let anyone in
Or left myself vulnerable
That was my dumb mistake
