Guarded Heart

Guarded by mad dogs and locked in a box

Surrounded by poison-laced barbed wire

Is my heart...

Kept heavily guarded and locked from the world

I keep surveillance of all those who stray too close

Making sure not to let the wrong person inside

The sanctuary of my inner thoughts and feelings...

Once in awhile though one or two may slip past my defenses

And try to steal the priceless treasure inside the box

But in the end get caught up...

Their will come a day though when the right person will come

Along and have the key to the lock that protects my heart

And when that day comes I'll be ready...

Ready to give the most precious gift I have to offer...

My heart...

Until then it'll stay guarded from the world to see.
