Lock Box
The deeper you fall,
the harder you fall,
I have learned that over time
so I have started locking my heart up
in a metal box
lined with red velvet
as to protect it from harm.
But secretly I long for someone to steal that box,
with hopes that they do not shake it to see what's inside
for that may surely kill me.

I sometimes feel this way myself... that I long for someone I can share my innermost heart and soul with completely, without fear of them using me, lying to me, or hurting me. Indeed, without them shaking the box, as you beautifully worded it! I can see you are a soul who is seeking after a finer goal when it comes to happiness in life. I love all your poetry, and this one is again very eloquent and well-written, as well as moving.
