Unguarded Heart

Like a predator He’ll watch you Hoping Waiting Knowing Knowing you’ll give in And then he’ll feed He’ll feed off your emotions Your thoughts Your rage Your hostile opinions He can predict your response Years of watching you Your fragile heart unaware There is no fence around your heart, darling! Anything goes in Anything grows in your garden Your heart is like a prostitute Anything goes! Anything…no filter Your heart is loose! You listen to their gossip Their filthy lies You listen… And like a sponge Your heart soaks up the lies… Soaked in filth and lies You absorb it and it poisons you The poison sips in Poisoning your thoughts Your reasoning Your decisions Your perspective Your heart darkens Your heart hardens You left your heart unguarded! Now, he has access! Like a predator He is watching Waiting Knowing Silently watching Unguarded heart The thief waits… By Sylvia Chika [email protected] http://sylviachika.blogspot.com/ http://sylviachika.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sylviachikablog Instagram: @sylviachikawrites BBM Channel: C002F2845 Twitter:@sylviaoz © 2016 Sylvia Chika
