I locked my heart away in a cage of stone, where loneliness reigns and love is unknown.
I hide my pain behind walls of fear,
afraid to let you come too close my dear.

I’ve built these barriers brick by brick, shielding my heart from becoming lovesick.
But deep down inside, I long to be free, to open up and allow you to see the real me.

Yet past scars whisper caution in my ear, reminding me of the hurt I held dear.
So I padlock the gates and throw away the key, protecting myself from vulnerability.

But in the depths of my soul, a flicker of hope yearns to break free from this self-imposed rope.
To tear down the walls and embrace the unknown, to unlock my heart and let love be shown.

So take a deep breath and step into the light, trust in the magic of a love that feels right.
With courage as our guide and fate as our ally, let’s unlock this heart and let love fly.
