Boundaries
I have some boundaries in place that you're not free to cross
so keep your distance where you are, or all will be at loss
It's only when my trust you gain, that you can come inside
Until that time, I must decline, and soul and feelings hide
For I'll not take a stranger in, my treasures I must keep
I've trusted many times before and for those times I weep
So, please respect my privacy and do not venture in
Perhaps in time, if all be well, my friendship you can win
My friends all know the joy that comes when loyalty is won
There are such pleasant happenings and fun under the sun
So, till that time when all is fine and secrets we can share
be sure to stick to boundaries, perhaps I'll meet you there.
