Thoughts in Poetry: Your Armored Heart

Your Armored Heart

I stand here

On the outside

Staring at the walls

Of your heart

I see the flames burning

Yearning for you and me

As I see you behind the walls

Staring blankly

The only importance

Your security

Making sure no one

Breaches your keep

To see and feel

The dynamic of you

The deep and intimate

Part that you are

So afraid to be seen

To chance being hurt

Throw this tiny window

I see your heart

Beating prominently

Inside

This Hannibal lector

Disassociation

Has my heart

With some favre beans and a martini

As your comfort increases

Should I stay?

Or should I leave

Will you ever allow?

Entrance into you

The real you

Not the façade of the

Walls around you

Perplexed

With no destiny

Merely

This holding action

Of impenetrable relationship

Obstruction
