Fences
I build fences.
I wall myself in
And protect.
I build fences.
And with each day, week, or month
That you are gone,
My barrier grows stronger, impregnable.
I build fences.
You show up and try to enter,
And find a fortress.
I build fences.
You knock, pound, and ram,
And are told to move on,
Yet you do not.
I build fences.
You slowly make your way through
And find my damaged and untended heart.
I build fences.
You do not walk away
Or cease your mission
To salvage my wounded soul.
I build fences.
You allow no retreat
Or hiding behind walls.
I build fences.
You tear them down.
