Claw

I don’t trust anyone with my heart,
Yet I happily let you in.
What set you apart?
What could it have been?
Was it that gentle smile?
Was it the way you made me feel
After waiting a while?
Was it what I knew I could see
If I ever had to look back on it?
I don’t know what I ever saw,
I don’t know anything about it.
But I know it’s got me like a claw,
Holding me back from going forward.
