When all I intended was to let you in

Before my heart is sealed

But there is one who made it past
Leaving him so broken and shattered
I want him to know that no matter what
We can mend our broken pieces together

I am closed to the public
Renovations inside
Blocked congested sick
Quarantined walls within divide
I cannot confess
