She won't let anyone in. Can you blame her?

Why must I have to steal a kiss from you?
Nothing I say will turn your stubborn head
I always have to dig to find some truth…
Lacklustre eyes stare forward, clearly dead.

Your face, a passive landscape bleak and stark.
Monotony extinguished love’s first spark.
Oh, how such a blow should break my heart!
But it won't, these guards have played their part

Titanium or something of the like,
I covered and encased her beating form.
Keeping her in iron I’ve saved her life,
she's safe inside my chest, she can't perform

The normal duties hearts will go about
the normal channels, letting others in,
she shies away, a further shield of doubt
protected as though love would be a sin.

I’m sure she’s happy, hiding under there…
We haven’t had much contact since I ceased
to listen to her, since I stopped to care
if someone held the keys to her release.
