Don't let anyone get close to you

Don’t Let Anyone Get Close to You
2024©JohnSchofield

Reflections in a shattered mirror
Fragments of my broken dreams
A garden long neglected
Overgrown with weeds

Memories of a joyful summer
Feelings I had never known
A lover gone forever
Emotions on hold

You ripped a page from my book of life
Cut out my heart with a careless knife
But you taught me a lesson too
Don’t let anyone get close to you

Nothing else can take you higher
Nothing else can drag you lower
That’s what you get when you fool with love

You ripped a page from my book of life
Cut out my heart with a careless knife
But you taught me a lesson too
Don’t let anyone get close to you
