To Prevent The Pain

An explanation you so desire,
A answer you won't receive.
A secret I will keep,
No matter what,
No matter how,
You try to convince.

You can't lure me into a trap,
Making me spill,
I will keep to myself,
I will remain strong.

Only keeping it within,
To prevent any mistakes,
Any misunderstandings,
Ruining what could have been.

To prevent broken hearts,
Saddening memories,
Moments to regret,
And a friend to lose.

To keep me from
Changing my mind
Spontaneously.

From ridicule,
And from hate,
And all those jerks,
Who will never take the time,
To understand what I see.

From the pain,
I would pass,
To keep me from shattering,
When my heart,
Still remains
Unsteady.
