I built my wall
Brick by brick
Fortified
With apathy
Deflection
A calculated
Nonchalance
Guarding always
This sensitive
Quivering, helpless
Beating *****
In my chest
While there
Behind the fortress
The stone and mortar
Beneath the armor
Of iron and steel
I wait in silence
Breath suspended
Frozen in terror
Of intrusion
Attack
Conquest
Huddled in my corner
Behind those walls
I hid, secure
Safe, protected
Or so I believed
But there, so small
Almost invisible
A crack, a *****
A weakened spot
You saw, you slid
Right through the gap
So smoothly
Quick
In the dead of night
Before I had
Even the chance
To sound the alarm
There you were
Inside
My heart
