The Shield Around My Heart

The Shield Around My Heart

As long as I hold onto him
I won’t fall in love with you
He is the shield around my
Heart Ironic, since he is
The one who shattered my
Heart into a million pieces

Yet he is the wall I’ve put around
My heart, so I don’t fall in love with you
I’m protecting myself because he
Nearly destroyed me and I will
Not allow it to happen again

It would be so easy to fall in
Love with you – but too many
People would get hurt – too many
Ground rules – to many complications
Too many feelings to contain

I hold onto him so I don’t
Fall in love with you
Or maybe I already have
I’m just denying it – and really
Holding on to him in
Case you go away
