My Heart Is Carefully Protected

Keeping up appearances
Is what it's been like ever since
You left me without a warning
Leaving my heart hurt and storming
Trust just faded from inside
Tears kept falling from my eyes
Faithfulness I thought you knew
Until the one day when you threw
All these good years down the drain
Just to cause me useless pain
It took a long time to find
The person who would change my mind
Asking to take it really slow
So I had a chance to know
That the words filling my head
Was something that you truly meant
When hard times tried to bring us down
We stood tough and then we found
There's nothing we can not weather 
If both our hearts work together

It's hard to find the right person to make a life with but when you do you hold tight and never let go of them. I really liked this poem and am so glad it has a positive additude to the ending cheri
