PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I think my heart is plenty guarded.

No one has dared enter,

because it’s a loveless place.

The problem is that

I don’t guard my mind and body.

I’m not so careful where I tread

and I have no self-restraint,

but I won’t let you in too far.

There are parts of me

closed off to every man.

I will never be emotionally available

because my heart has

been broken for so long.
