*Titleless*

Building, under construction
These walls around my heart,
Could be my own destruction
Higher and higher they seem to get
With only one way in and seemingly no way out

I’m the one with scars no one can see
Very few that actually know the real me
The girl that shrinks at every touch
Who is afraid because she’s lost so much

I’m so weary broken and abused
I feel, I know, I’ve been used
Turn back around and give my all
Knowing soon after to the ground I’ll fall

Give smiles to the world around
Never learned to let anyone down
Everyone runs to me when they need help
So just for them I’ll pour myself out

They say my eyes leave me open
So they know I’ll do anything and everything I can
But when I need help they all turn away
As of yet no one has the will to stay

It’s happened so many times
I’m starting to lose my trust in mankind
For all I’ve done is continue to give
Though I’ve gotten nothing in return, I’ll continue to live

Always smile like I’m carefree
Take time to look inside of me
Realize not everything is what it seems
Take some time you’ll see what I mean

This hearts been broken way more than twice
That feeling I assure you is nowhere near to nice
I don’t want to fall for another trick
Of all this deception I’m thoroughly sick

Alone I’ll sew this bleeding heart
And slowly put the pieces back in place
One more fall could be my last
All these scars remind me of the past

So I’ll keep guard around my fort
For the ones who wish to get in only promise hurt
Keeping watch twenty-four seven
Their promises nowhere near to heaven

I need someone brave
Willing enough me to save
To take a wrecking ball to my wall
And catch me when I again start to fall

Until then my guard will never come down
I’ll be careful to rarely drop a frown
Live this life giving my all
Being careful because I’m alone
And do not wish to carelessly fall
This is what I’ve always known
