For as long as I can remember,
you kept me at arm’s length.
A little window here, a little crack there,
but never the full open view.
You invite me in your life
but never let me in.
You built walls around yourself
I can only dream of crumbling.
You wear an impermeable armor,
I can never take off.
I pushed and I pulled.
I loved and I hated.
Opened my senses,
learned to compromise.
Try as I may
all my efforts are futile.
You win.

ReplyDeleteYou know that quote... sometimes people build walls not to keep others out, but to see who will tear them down. Sometimes I think that's a bunch of crap. Anyway... at least you tried.
