You make me cower in the robes of regret
For building this great wall around my heart
A wall so high that when I stumble into your presence,
You don't hear my heart skip a beat.
And I fail to catch your eyes to look through my fortress,
Just to see my porcelain heart
And its faint whimpers.
And for a moment, within my guarded chest,
I wished I had left a backdoor
So you could slip through my defense-
Without meeting stone.
