My Guard Is Down Poem by Keith Young

My Guard Is Down

I let it down
Let the draw bridge out
Told my guards to let you in
Let you in to the heart of my soul
My Guard Is Down
Just for you
Gave you full access to my kingdom
I held you in my arms
Should you how much I cared about you
Asked you to be my queen
Asked to hold my broken heart
Asked you to heal me
What happened
Why won’t you help me rule my kingdom
Why won’t you give me a chance
I need you
Because of you
My Guard Is Down
Now my heart is broken again
Goodbye I don’t need you
I kicking you out
I am pulling the draw bridge up
Locking the gates
My guard is no down
