Iron Clad Gate

When it comes to love some run hot and cold They never give love a chance to fully unfold Over and over again they've been a victim of rejection So they become afraid and sparse with their affection They tie their heart with an imaginary string So the can reel it in before they feel loves sting They erect a wall when they start to get close A barrier goes up so their true feelings they don't expose They wear this armor so their heart they can protect Because rejection is what they ultimately expect They're caught in a tug of war between head and heart Should they take a risk or not even start They push people away;make them feel ignored When they really just want to be loved and adored True love is what they are virtually after To live a life full of love,joy and laughter So subconsciously they test who is going to stay Weed out the ones who will just walk away They are looking for the one who will patiently wait To give them the key to the iron clad gate -C.A.Saputo xoxo
