Take me into your vault

and I'll show you mine

It certainly feels as though it's one of a kind

if it's lust you are after

I am quiet the crafter

the wall that I build

will be made of steel

mighty and tall

you will have to yield.

You want something real

it's required to feel

I am far from perfect

but I'm not here to steal.

I am scared of being hurt

by something not real

the mask that you see

is the protection of me

the coping of the world

is to hide my inner world

I know hurt and abuse

and I have been let loose

I am rather deep

so me I will keep

If that is who you seek

show me your safe to let you peak

it will definitely take more than a week.
