PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A vulnerable heart with secrets kept

But they’ve been unlocked to you

Its eyes once opened; hence, they slept

Now awaken, ready to subdue



Running swiftly as fast as it can

Cutting like a knife through all the pain

Closing its doors, love will be banned

And it will no longer be attained



If you think I scared you, I apologize

But I scared myself ten times more

Secrets and feelings I improvised

Just shoved you out the door



These matters forgone, I regret

Opening up a closed wound

Bleeding out all my secrets

Revealing them too soon



Too much for you to take

But I’ve lived with them for so long

I realize now, my mistake

Letting you know was probably wrong



I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself

I was scared and couldn’t deal

So I pulled my skeletons off the shelf

Of the closet that they were concealed



Now you’ve been scared away

Like everyone else in my life

I guess it’s like they always say

Love is the sharpest knife



If for once I was placid, reposed

My mind would be at ease

My secrets’ doors would be closed

Locked up, my heart would be appeased



Maybe I’d find true love

And not unwittingly scare it away

For now it’s just a word I’ve heard of

But dreamed of everyday
