Vulnerability

I'd like to say it was you that broke my heart but really it is I that allowed it to open which causes vulnerability, weakness and it tore when you said good bye.

I believe my heart has been safe for many years and maybe a little under lock and key possibly chained by previous break ins and I was put in protective custody.

Then you walk in out of nowhere with trusting eyes, words so sincere, and a touch that calmed me to the point of complete vulnerability you broke the chains and here I am....

I am trying to piece it back together, trying to pick up the locks, chains and plaster to repair these cracks that continue to leak the blood of my soul slowly out.

Loving fully was a risk I took, the joy of feeling again filled me up, but days like this I  am draining so much the emptiness is unbearable.
