Door

by Marie Bowers(USA)

Get out of my head.
Get off of my mind.
Stop tearing me up inside.
You were just a stranger, someone who should not have been a danger.
Easily replaced, a nameless face.
So why do I miss you? Why can't my heart forget you?
Why do I feel this guilt? Because you've torn down the walls I've built?
Or maybe you had found a door, perhaps a key no one's found before.
Leading straight into my core, what others had just ignored.
I wish you hadn't taken interest, instead seen me as young and foolish.
I wish you hadn't touched my heart, that is perhaps the hardest part.
