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
