~Heart's Defense~

When People have been hurt in the past
People tend to take security measures
In order to protect themselves like I have.

My Heart's security defenses
Are almost like Fort Knocks
With a Hardwired Electric Fence
All the way around the perimeter
With an Brick Wall in front of the Fence

My Hearts Defense has been
Created to protect myself
From liars and frauds,
Sometimes its even protected myself
Against myself from stupid things I have done

My Hearts Defense is suppose to
Defend myself against those that
Would ever bring me harm
Or try to wound me in ways
That are unforgivable in my heart.

My Hearts Defense is meant to protect me
So why the hell is it trying to do
The exact opposite and let people in....

I don't get what the hell is going on
My head is in a cloud and my defenses
Are down towards this person and another.
One of which I understand after all she my best friend
But the other person seems like dream
That it is unreal and a one in a million chance to ever happen
But I don't understand the breakage of my hearts defense
When it comes to her because everything drops
And I become this valunerable girl that just speaks everything
I don't get what the heck is going on with me.

My Heart's Defense keeps my heart protected and caged
And yet with this relationship its collapsed and failed
It hasn't hurt me yet but in the back of my mind its lingering.

My Heart's Defense is meant to protect me
Hell it protects memories I have suppressed due to painful memories
It's protected me ever since I finally broke by other people hurting me .

My Heart's Defense has always been there to protect me
So, why is my heart's defense dropped and open to her?
Why is my heart's defense that is like a ticking time bomb
About ready to explode at anyone who tries to cross me

My Heart's Defense is like a trap door you try to cross it
You Fall and I stand tall, I Rise you fall but yet.......
Why is my hearts defense dropping like it I only had
Water around my heart to where I can breathe again
Where I can be myself, not that I am complaining
But what the hell is going on to my Heart's Defense.

Sometimes I know that know that a person can be closer and more
Vulnerable when it comes to people who are closer to me
But for someone estranged and my heart's defense
I almost wonder if their ain't something wrong with me
Why I just drop my defenses to let someone in....

My heart and brain doesn't understand what the hell is going on.
I try to fathom this concept but it fails every single time.
I cannot explain what the hell I mean directly because it's private.
However, it doesn't mean I can't write about
In a way that nothing is ever mentioned about the scenerio.

My Heart is happy and relieved with how it feels
Except one thing I can't fathom how my Heart's Defenses
Would just break and let it crumble for her but
Yet other people who aint her or a few other people
My heart's defense is back up and ready to fight any one else,
But yet with her its like its melted and broken away
Which doesn't make any damn sense
And I can't wrap my head around it either.
