To the Uninvited

I had so carefully kept my emotions under lock and key

And no one was ever allowed to touch them

But then you, a simple fool, just had to come and change that

You ignored the warning sign I wore and took things into your careless hands

You broke the lock and welcomed yourself into this place of brittle stone

The place you called my heart and made your home as you pitched a tent

It was shattered and ravage by the time you came

But you took in the bitter gustation in hope for a sweet aftertaste

I longed for you to learn to enjoy the bitterness

And quit searching because that's what you longed for instead

To stay in this unwelcome home you made because it desired you back

And while you did quit your search

You left instead because you discovered 

There was no aftertaste that you sought

But the tent you pitched was left behind

And I have no clue of how to rid myself of it
