Protected Heart Poem by Phil Soar

I built a wall around my heart
And thought it could not fall
That nothing could destroy its strength
That it stood mighty tall
Then you came, my wall fell down
You stepped across the rubble
I knew right then you'd captured me
And that I was in trouble

I'd said that no-one ever would
Steal my heart again
After all the previous times
It was engulfed with pain
But I had not yet seen your face
Or noticed your sweet smile
Or that I would encounter you
And fall for your feminine guile

You've broken down that outer seal
The kept my heart anew
You've entered into wilderness
And love came into view
You've broken my defences
And turned to lock a door
That I may just have left ajar
And don't need anymore
