Castle
Your mind and heart
your soul
is a fortress
sprawling walls
towers ad infinitum
built by every
tear
heart-flutter
and rage
you’ve ever had
You pile secrets into
the foundation
the crushing weight
sending pieces of the redoubt
and you
plummeting
one day
years from now
you will claw and sift
with bleeding hands
through the rubble
you once thought
were strong as stone
