bricks cemented together.
a wall.
surrounded by barbed gates and wire.
put up to turn away the most extreme weather.

weather?
love. feelings. you.

past relationships built this wall.
my heart is in a prison.
protected by the finest and most elite security.

i wanted you to break down my wall.
piece by piece.
so I can accept your love, flaws and all.
unfortunately my wall just became even more robust.

minor details.
the things you did, just gave me more reasons to keep my wall up.
the situation had me broken.
it had you broken too, that you couldn't be what I needed.

i'm sorry I placed you in a position where you had to play the role of a wrecking ball.
i watched you try to break down the wall.
bare hands.
clenched fists.
painful.

i watched you give up and cry.
your cry for help.
let me in please.

selfish.
that was selfish of me.
i should've known you wouldn't possess that kind of strength.
