Afraid To Fall

Protective of my heart from all it
has endured through the loss,
pain, and rejection. The almost
was, could have been, the
near times, and the bad timing
cumulates into a thick wall around
my heart that none can penetrate
or will allow to. I can't foresee
a lady taking a chance on someone
who is afraid to fall even if she
has given me ample proof that she
is genuine with her feelings
towards me. Skeptical at her
motives of why she wants to try to
see if there is a forever. Could I
let anyone into my heart and let
go of being afraid to fall in love?
