Sidestep

Forgive me for not letting you in: I wanted so badly to escape This place that is in between Those memories of the past The uncertainty of the future If only I knew then that it would end up this way I wouldn't step foot into the idea of love. Not even close, not even when the fire within me rose How could I let myself be so vulnerable so plagued by a callous human being bringing nothing of worth or gain knowing only suffering and pain? How did breaking apart become so easy? Wasn’t my heart hard as steel?
