Paraphrase: I dismiss
what's more close my heart
to the guarantee of affection
that is tricking
for the past has instructed
in what isn't
worth seeking after
to never do
the things ive done
that whenever had driven
to my demise
Connotation:
Metaphors: "caught" means to fall out of love

Use of past tense to recall the mistakes that was made in the past

Means to move on from the past mistake.
Title: Afraid To Love
Theme: Love. Moving on from the past mistake and not to do it again, growth.
