What do you think this poem is about?

Alone and Empty

Building up chains around my heart
And sealing them with a lock
So afraid of falling in love
I put up a protective shield
But then you came and snuck your way in
And the lock you tried to break
Constantly I refused to let you win
So you decided to give up
Now that you are gone
I feel alone and empty
Nothing but pain where you once stood
Which leaves me a hopeless wreck
