Open

I know not how to guard a timid heart from capture by the reckless wanderer, to close it from emotion, keep apart the helpless and the cunning conqueror. I have not an impenetrable wall prohibiting your entrance, have no shield deflecting glances meant but to enthrall – you challenged, I was all too quick to yield. I search not inner sanctums for the will to distance this temptation; seek not might to hardened spirit be; look not to kill the swell, the flames the kisses would ignite. Resigned as such to this, the sweet demise to never hide beneath such thin disguise.
