One, Two Part Three

Can't get too attached. 
For when I do, it all goes
Wrong. One of us gives up, 
And it just falls apart. 
Even though my heart is needy. 
I'll have to fight it for control. 
Or else I'll make a hasty decision. 
One that'll ruin my soul. 
Leaving it more broken than it was
Before. My walls, my "protection", 
Isn't strong enough to keep hold. 
It'll all fall apart with just 
One single blow. Two things will 
Crumble, just when I think I'll 
Be fine. It all tumbles down. And
Emotion after emotions bombards my 
Broken, now unprotected heart. Do you 
Understand why I can't go through it again?
