Blood Splatter

Closed off halls of my heart,
how locks long to open;
I know they are starving 
fueled by foolish half smiles;
Is it worth believing? 

Closed off halls of my heart,
barricaded so tight
ignoring every need;
Ridden with painful shots,
arrows will always bleed;

Closed off halls of my heart,
a sure hand ran me through;
Broke them into pieces;
I’m fearful of the pain 
yet desire blood splatter.
