These are My Walls

These are my walls

Built out of anticipations

Of those calls that didn’t ring

Of timeframes that are limiting

Of promises that turned into nothing

Of boundaries ever separating

Of interdits so bent on controlling

This tired heart’s in danger of breaking.

So, these are my walls

As high as the sky

Impenetrable like a fortress

Built out of your empty promises

Don’t cross, don’t trespass 

I have been known 

To shoot on sight

Trespassers

And lovers alike.
