April Walter Skyy Poet Blank verse

Closed

The gates of my heart are still closed
  guarded with a stone wall
still standing tall
  waiting for the day it will be opened
showing all the love, hatred, depression, joy and sadness
  it holds
holding strong to my emotions
  without the notation of what will become of me
because of the things I have seen
  using all my five senses against me
Taste-bitter was the taste of something that use to be sweet
  Sight-blind sided by what's right in front of me and not looking at what it could be
Touch-I reached out to touch what's right in front of me and it fades away
  Smell-the sweet smell of lavender that faded away
Sound-hearing the familiar voices that torments me even when I sleep
  still waiting for the rose petals to settle and re-open my heart
