i built these walls
-i put up these-
stony castle walls
-bound by-
pearly white mortar
-i stacked my bricks high-
all around my heart
-until they loomed over my head-
with no sky in sight
-and you-
broke them down
-as if they were-
nothing but eggshells
-watching them-
crumble to dust
-beaneath your-
blood-covered fingertips
they were there for a reason.
(was it to keep you out
or to keep me in?)
