So maybe I built walls.
Around my heart; around my feelings.
But when your entire life crumbles before your eyes.
When you lose everything except for your own life...
You dont want it to happen again.
So I built walls, and I'm sorry that you cant break them.
But thats the point.
Because I've learned to trust no one but myself.
When I let you in, my walls weren't tall enough.
You climbed over them, and intruded on my heart.
Now, some might say, that they are too tall.
But I disagree.
Because when everything is taken from you, except your own life...
You wont let it happen again.
Because if it does, I know I wont make it out alive.
