Steel Cage Heart

My heart is a cage,
locked up deep inside,
with walls that others see,
as a place to avoid.

Those who get close,
get locked up within,
never escaping,
this heart shaped prison.

So as I watch you,
slowly walk away,
from the tall walls,
that surround this cage.

I realize that you’re
still inside these bars,
for venturing too close,
allowed in its walls.

You explored the prison,
mapping out its design,
but you were snatched away,
and my heart declined.

So now the prison,
locks, again away,
from those who tiptoe near,
its tall walls again.
