I don’t know where you go
when you’re away from me.
One minute you’re here
and the next
there’s a mile wide wall between us
built with pebbles and stones
of misplaced anger and insecurity.
I test the wall’s strength with jokes
and try to chip away at the concrete with
sweet words and a reassuring hand.
I like this, really can relate.
I appreciate reading this today. It fits with my mindset for friends too. Especially a dear friend who just placed all her walls up and wants to cut everyone out of her life because her heart hurts too much for anyone to be in it. I am scared for her, but I have hopes for a better tomorrow.
