Cuffing Her

She's my only suspect. Guess I'll have to restrain her.
We don't have a ton of crime in this small town.

But around Naomi, I can't think with anything except my...
To say I'm closed off is an understatement.

Naomi has a way of piercing my armor.
She's crept into my chest.
Taken up residence in my heart.
She may be innocent, but shady stuff is going down.
I want to trust her. Let her in.
But my past won't let me.
