My Heart's Door

My heart’s door is broken The hinges are rusty and worn Everytime I lock you out You simply push in that door I try to put up barriers To make my heart full proof But then you go barging in And I am left unglued I need to get a new door One made of iron and steel And a lock that safely shuts My heart to your appeal I need to do this quickly Before another day Brings you traipsing in again To blow my doubts away My heart’s door is broken I’ve gone and lost the key But next that you come around You’ll find a different me!

Wonderful write. I really like the passion and desire, but that overwhelming weakness. Great words.

Congratulations on the feature! Great poem! I too know the struggle all too well, the heart wants what the heart wants and the pain is all too real! Great poem! ~Trudy~

We become more guarded when these type of people come through...I love the way you wrote this poem. The third stanza is my favorite. I can relate! Awesome one! Gonna read some more of your poetry tonight. Always, Laura

My heart is obstinate, sweetie. Even when it knows that pain will follow. It has a mind of it's own. We live and learn. Thanks for the visit.

I am amazed no one commented this is a really good poem. You may consider changing unglued to unhinged in keeping with the door theme.

Yes...Richard, but it won't go well with the rhyme theme! Thanks for the visit.
