Manipulation

Manipulation

My walls were solid, you tried to breach

You told me my cold heart you could not reach

The feelings I had, were buried deep

My own protection I had to keep

You proclaimed Just a block of ice that pumped cold inside

No warm beating motion on which to take a ride

Encased in defiance to any approach

The guard with sword in hand should anyone encroach

You told me that I truly had no heart

But I only shielded it from the very start

You told me I was broken, a waning lost cause

Your tongue eagerly reciting my flaws

When we were apart, you questioned my every move

Scrutiny was your mentor, as if you had something to prove

Accusations of deception, of others on my mind

You couldn`t have been further from the truth, there was nothing of the kind

You were the best I would ever get

And the fact you reminded me, I should never forget

You ridiculed me, called me cold

Every time with open arms I would gently hold

I cleaned house and cooked when you would grace me with your time

Asking the question when we were intimate, “will you always be mine?”

No-one else will have you replied, and do what I do

Be thankful that I am here now, bedding with you

You were my inspiration, my muse, I treated you as a my queen

My feelings bubbled inside they just couldn`t be seen

Acts of service was the way I showed my affection

It was my way, as reminded often it was far from perfection

As the years passed by, the walls softened, you began to chip away at my defence

I thought you may soften towards me, my awaited recompense

You chipped away until my heart was with your grasp

I could whisper in your ear that I loved you, that was the open clasp

The lock to the most vulnerable that you slowly picked

The piece of me you wanted, my feelings you tricked.

My heart now just a toy with which you tug and play

As you laugh, turn, distance yourself and walk away.

The years we spent, the time we shared

Just a ruse to destroy me, my feelings never spared

My walls are now rebuilding twice as strong as before

To never let another reach my hearts chamber and bang on the door
