I allow many to enter my life
Leaving footprints of pain and darkness 
Why must I be the victim of broken infatuation
Not once do my feelings come into view 
hidden behind the weeds and dead plants 
Open to anyone who has a charming smile and slick touch
Love me for the moment and I shall bare your memories eternally
Give me your pain and I shall bear your sorrow 
Entering my garden and feeding off my fruit 
The snakes take what they desire and leave nothing intact 
Suffering years and longing for a gardener to protect my harvest
Blinded by the rotten fruit and termite infested wood 
By the time unworthy souls are visible 
they have already captured my being
Lost in an oasis of darkness 
The light I need the sun will not allow me to receive
Dried up and incapable of producing anything worthy of happiness 
My fence shall remain open to those who desire a sudden moment of
satisfaction
