You suddenly erect a wall whenever I get close to you. And I'm unable to breach it, no matter what I say; or do. As my heart's about to explode, you suddenly erect a wall. And every time I try to phone, you refuse to pick up my call. At times, you start to let me in, then, just as quickly, shut me out. You suddenly erect a wall, and our relationship's in doubt. You either like being a tease, or you enjoy seeing me crawl. For when I attempt to get close, you suddenly erect a wall. (Quatern) 2/22/2016

Great quatern, Emile. I think we can all relate to this, and not just in the romantic sense ... but being closed out by friends or family. It's frustrating enough building up a wall of separation ... but then leaving the person in the dark just adds insult to injury.
