Lock My Heart Away

Even if I love you,
I'm too much of a coward,
I could never,
Let my heart be so vulnerable.

Too many times,
My heart has shattered,
And bit by bit,
It's been pieced together.

I might let you love me,
On the outside,
But I will never let you in
On the inside.

I lock my heart away,
So I cannot be hurt,
And so I cannot,
Fall in love.

Every time,
You look at me,
You shower me with love,
But I can never be clensed.

No matter how much,
You love me,
I could never,
Unlock my heart.
