Reckless

I truly have been reckless
I look at my life like a rear view
shaking my head because 
there isn't any editing 
that I can do to fix you
I was in desperate need of affection
When you swindled me out of my most prized possession
there was a quick beginning and end to the satisfaction 
I felt like I didn't even matter.
Now I have a picture as clear as day
yet I can never erase it away 
I'm afraid to let anyone else in 
I went from being reckless
to being overly protective of my heart 
and now I don't know where to start.
