Vigilant Heart

Hearts unopened

Cannot be broken

Walls, walls, walls…

You keep me safe.

I rule my heart.

My will imparts

That in this fortress

I will remain.

Never again

Will I die within.

While my body

Lives in vain.

On this island

I know who I am.

I am a rock.

I cannot break.

Do not mention love

Please, speak not of

Such fantasies,

For fire does burn.

No one is immune.

And someday soon

My vigilant heart

Will cease to yearn.
