POEM STARTER

'He shut the door wide open'

Write a poem ending with this line. How can you set up the poem so that this final metaphor makes sense?

Exposed

No one reads me like he does In the company of others I have always been a closed book A poker-faced, uncaring npc I do not show my strengths And I always hide my weaknesses You only see what I want you to see I build my walls higher than the Eiffel tower Because I learnt long ago Never to trust anyone But then there was him The only one I ever trusted The only one I ever loved He tore down my walls And broke through my gates He unlocked my heart And flipped through my pages With him, My life was an open book But then he changed his mind He decided I wasn’t worth loving He decided I wasn’t good enough He broke my heart into pieces And left me vulnerable Lying bare on the floor So my walls built themselves higher Yet my heart was still exposed Because he shut the door wide open
