Shrapnel

You're the first guy, who has actually told me,
He cares about me,
In a long time.
I got so used to them not.
This defensive demeanor I possess is engrained,
In my being.
I hide in the shadows,
In the recesses of my past.
Lost in a dream,
Waking up in a nightmare.
My defenses up,
My army armed,
And ready to fight.
I am blinded by my senses,
I cannot see your white flag,
Blowing in the wind.
I don't know how to react,
I am so confused.
I am lost,
I have lost myself,
My ability to love,
Within the shrapnel.
