His words were like poison, entering through my ears and invading my heart, making it flutter and swirl around. I had kept my heart closed and sealed with a lock that I would only allow the man I was sure would never break it to have it's key. But as I heard his sweet nothings, like venom his words slowly crept through my veins and into my mind, rendering me vulnerable.
I was wise enough to not fall for such empty words, for an 'I love you' without meaning it, is like handing out a present with fancy wrappings, but nothing inside it. Yet, sadly I was not strong enough and failed to make myself insusceptible.
For so long I tried so hard to protect my woundless heart. Woundless but not dim-witted, for I know how a person can manipulate another into thinking that they could be trusted, But when the said trust is broken, it would literally shatter the person who held onto it, into pieces, and the other would not even bother try to help putting back the pieces of the person they had destroyed. They would leave the other like some rag doll that they no longer wanted.
But for him I disregarded all of those thoughts, I had opened myself up to him so much that I was almost defensless. I trusted him so much because I thought he was different. The world seemed a little brighter when I came to knew him, but then remembered why I tried to lock my feelings away in the first place. Because even though I have never yet felt how it is to be crushed by the person you trusted, I can still imagine the pain and sorrow it would cause me and that was something I never wanted to feel.
