Full Circle

You penetrate my shields with your charm
You scale my walls with your tenderness

You pry away my armour with your devotion
You coax my heart to beat with your love

You wake me from my half-lived stupor
You help me trust in your faithfulness

We take vows and pledge to be one and only

Your mulishness prompts me to raise shields
Your thoughtlessness forces me to rebuild walls

Your disloyalty persuades me to collect armour
Your lying with her causes my heart to stutter

Your withdrawal wakes those long shushed doubts
Your faithlessness splinters my trust

You erode our foundation with your betrayal

My crumbled walls are rebuilt and reinforced
My shields are impenetrable
My armour is thick and unreachable
My heart longs to stop beating
My life is lived in numb oblivion
My trust is shattered beyond repair

I am closed to everyone, again.
Full circle… rather poetic.

that's a lie you are closed

that's a lie you are closed to him
you are open to those who love you
clearly he doesn't

you are handling this with the most amazing grace and strength
you are handling it with only making him pay for his mistakes
with an open heart to your friends and family and with a closed mind to him
you are amazing


Much Love
