I've built these walls
Its vibrant rusty red hue was now faint
Abused with graffitied names I've been called
Gaping cracks and poison ivy cradle its stance

I've built these walls
Its purpose is to protect me from harm
But you are the strongest of storms
And you've come my way ready to break them down

I've built these walls
They are tired of existing like myself
They crumble into pieces, my aura is exposed
I look into your starless eyes, knowing it's dangerous to be this close

I've built these walls
They've been gone for some time
You broke through them then disappeared into the sky
Only to return with the most alluring sunshine
I've been waiting to feel for most of my life

She was passive and quiet
She liked to be alone
She observed people through her dark eyes
Admiring lovers admire each other
She dreamt of flying through the clouds escaping reality
She dreamt of creating art to express what she couldn't put into words
She felt small but had vast mind
She was distant and shy
She stayed away in her room
Daydreaming of what could be
If she were to break out of her cocoon

I hope I marry an artist
Where I'll be the main character of his poems
The woman in his photography
The lady he'd sing to in the morning
His idea of the perfect body to sculpt
The queen he'd paint over and over again
His lover and friend
His muse

Your voice feels like silk caressing my skin
Goosebumps emerge from my pores when you say my name

...the way you say my name

Fantasized scenarios of myself blossoming for you with my body becoming one with yours underneath hidden heavens

I'm a damsel in distress and wanting you would be selfish of me
If only I were a goddess or queen
Nobody's affection would compare to mines
My Hercules
