"Never Again"

Falling for someone and later wondering was it worth giving yourself and not getting anything in return.
I'm so naive when it comes to you
I'm so weak when it comes to your words.
I wanted you to be madly in love with me.
My feelings for you were strong.
I honestly cared about you,
even when I thought I was too young to care for anyone.
I can't believe I actually cared for me too.
Now I sit back terrified, thinking I'm destined to an eternity of loneliness.
Circumstances were hard I truly understand,
but your guilt and confusion slapped me in my face,
and pierced my heart until I could no longer find my breath.
Was this truly necessary?
What went through your mind?
All that crossed mine was that what did I say or do that was so wrong?
I thought my world ended all over you.
How stupid of me.
I now will build my wall so tall and thick, that no one shall ever reach me.
I will never let my guard down and crumble at their feet.
I will never be a fool for love or lust, whatever it was.
I will never fall so fast to where I can't pick myself back up.
Like I did with you.
NEVER AGAIN.
