Vulnerability...

Inside a expanse of chaotic dark,
Into my abyss I did stalk,
Arrived at my workshop and
there I stopped,
Fitting my heart
with an unbreakable lock,
In the deepest dungeon,
I found a strong box,
I wiped off the cobwebs
and dusted the top,
Once it was shut and
chained up tight,
I double checked it was
chained up right,
Posted a guard on it,
Day and night,
Barbed wire and gun turrents,
Sharp spikes on uppermost posts,
CCTV camera system specifically
designed to watch it close,
Then you came into my life,
Rummaging and pilfering,
Like a thief in the night,
My walls you did break,
My love you did take,
Is there truly nowhere,
My heart will be safe...

a good heart is always fragel and we must always protect it. But at the same time if you lock it up too tightly you will grow lonley and bitter. Hearts do mend its just a matter of letting it.

Sometimes no matter how much we safe guard our hearts people still manage to wiggle in and break them.... Really liked this one.

Tony, it seems when we do feel love, whether we know how it ends or not, we just have to dive with it. Good luck my dear friend.

Beautiful descriptive piece felt like I was there walking along the dark corridor watching as you locked your heart in the box and all the sadness I felt that this is what we believe is necessary to protect ourselves how dare they break your heart to the point of wanting it locked away forever. Hearts are amazing things when they break we don't die from it. Hearts are so big they have the capacity to love so many forgive unrelentlessly heal others and what that is so perfect about us they make us shine... So let it out don't lock it away allow it to shine on so many xx we don't just love one person in this life time we are defined by the love we give not the love we receive.. <3
