Unguarded Heart
Like a predator
He’ll watch you
Hoping
Waiting
Knowing
Knowing you’ll give in
And then he’ll feed
He’ll feed off your emotions
Your thoughts
Your rage
Your hostile opinions
He can predict your response
Years of watching you
Your fragile heart unaware
There is no fence around your heart, darling!
Anything goes in
Anything grows in your garden
Your heart is like a prostitute
Anything goes!
Anything…no filter
Your heart is loose!
You listen to their gossip
Their filthy lies
You listen…
And like a sponge
Your heart soaks up the lies…
Soaked in filth and lies
You absorb it and it poisons you
The poison sips in
Poisoning your thoughts
Your reasoning
Your decisions
Your perspective
Your heart darkens
Your heart hardens
You left your heart unguarded!
Now, he has access!
Like a predator
He is watching
Waiting
Knowing
Silently watching
Unguarded heart
The thief waits…
