Siege of my Heart

Eileen Green

Outside you pound Pleading for me to open up Let you back inside Fear grips my soul I quake And grasp steel walls built securely around my heart No entrance intended in its conception How can I so carelessly let down my fortification When it was so slowly unconsciously and painstakingly built. To keep you and your painful jabs and arrows out I fight my internal struggle of longing to ease my loneliness With the desire to pour boiling oil into your yearning soul I fear that what is left of my tattered heart could not stand exposure to you Your pleas tell me you've changed And there is no longer reason to fear Are you a Trojan horse A wolf in sheep's clothing I can't know for sure until I let you in Here I wait A lamb for the slaughter
