At Arm's Length
We used to be so close
Close enough to read each other's minds and hearts
So in sync and in tune
A bond I never thought would be at risk of breaking
But now, you have boarded up your heart
Leaving me feeling rejected and dismissed
Cowardly avoiding me
Keeping me at arm's length with the distance you've placed between us
And I wonder...
Whose heart, is it that you are protecting, yours or mine?
