When I lost her, I built a wall around my heart to let it heal for all the pain it endured.

Many attempted to take down the wall, I didn't permit, for they seem to only offer grandiose promises.

But it all changed when you came, who for the first time, promised to secure my heart, take care of it as how you take care of yours.

And so I took the wall down, brick by brick. But as I removed the last brick to set my heart free, you left, darling you left me.

After we shared our deepest dreams and desires, you left me. After I imparted a part of me, you said you no longer want to stay.

Now I regret taking down this wall.

As my heart feels the coldness of solitude, you only reminded me of why I built the walls ever so high.
