Word of the day: Vault
Her heart is a vault
Concrete, steel reinforced walls
Impenetrable
Her heart is a safe
Guarded, secure, locked up tight
So few have access
She withdraws within
Locked away, secluded
Fortress surrounding
No one can enter
No affection is withdrawn
No love deposits
It’s better this way
No withdrawals, no deposits
No pain, no heartache
Some attempt access
No combination is shared
Leave empty-handed
Does she dare open up?
Let someone enter inside
Where guarded love lies?
Too many wanted
Withdrawals only, leaving no
Deposits behind
Nearly depleted
She longed to be replenished
Coffers filled again
But robbers waited
Eager only to pilfer
What little remained within
Once, she succumbed
The combination given
Trusting just this once
She offered riches
The treasure of her love
Her trust, all of her
He promised no harm
The bounty would stay with her
She shared freely
The door left open
He snuck away with it all
Nothing left behind
No deposits here
Only withdrawals, emptiness
The safe closed again
Her heart is a vault
Concrete, steel reinforced walls
Impenetrable
