I guard my heart inside a stone wall.
Cupid's arrows have bounced off the barrier
as hopefuls tried to reach me unsuccessfully.
As time passed they learned it was useless.
Soon my gates were abandoned
and I felt success.
But being so heavily armored can
sometimes make you feel even more empty.
So I dropped my shield and winced
as it clattered to the ground.
No one else seemed to hear it.
I worked hard to chip away the stone that surrounded me,
but still no one wanted to enter.
I retreated back into my stronghold and picked up my shield,
locked the door, and threw away the key.
