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
