Never Again

I knew it was too soon to let my guards down
I knew it was no use denying it verbally,
yet feeling it in the pit of my stomach.

I knew it was foolish to make up excuses for someone else
I knew it was irrational to believe again after all that I went through
I knew it was ridiculous to open up to someone new
Giving another being a chance to either break or mend my heart.

If you think the walls around me were high before
From now on you need more than sweet luck to breakthrough.

Lesson learned.
