I swore I'd never let myself get hurt again
So, I put on my goggles and overalls
And built myself a fence 10 feet tall
Impenetrable
Cause truth be told, I'm too **** vulnerable
I've taken the time to plant my feet
Girded my fortress with the toughest concrete
Safe and secure I take my seat
Determined to keep my distance from everyone I meet
Except you....
You make me question the purpose of my emotional prison
I realize I'm nothing more than a hollow shell
From all the years of hell I willfully endured
And thought myself cured but now I'm amazed and a bit dazed
Cause I simply love being in your presence
And I'm totally captivated by your very essence
Yet my heart yells out
REMEMBER YOUR VOW!!!!
Behind my smile my soul is vexed
And my heart is perplexed
Have I completely lost my mind
Or is it a crime to let you close to me
Can I let my guard down
And expose you to all my vulnerabilities
