To be loved like I do

Fifteen Years
Walked a life with all my guards up
Shut my heart so no one could take

One tiny month
Walked freely with all my guards down
Opened my heart for anyone to take

Only to be hurt
Only to be burnt
Only for yet another
Who had no love for me

Learnt, I did.
Thankful, I am.
Blessed, I am.

But,
I’m only human.
I like to be loved too,
Like how I loved them.

So,
Yes I am
Sorry for myself
Only sometimes
