At Arms Length

Why did you never love me Does my beauty intimidate you Do you see the shadows in my heart yes they’ve been there from the start I bet you were just too afraid to share your heart again I know it had been shattered She left you broken and in tatters But you don’t know me well I also have my defenses I tried to let you see the inner me Afraid all along that you would flee I might have given you a chance to have you in my life but I could tell right away that you were the kind that leaves someday I won’t love you and get nothing in return I’ll keep you at arms length Letting you close I would sink
