Out
My walls climb higher as I block the world,
Out.
I don’t trust you.
Get away from me.
Let me shut down.
You are poison to me,
dead to the touch.
Don’t be offended.
For I am only protecting myself:
From love, and to love.
It kills all in its path.
It tastes bitter on my tongue,
To say I love you.
Do not make me say it.
Leave me alone,
Before I blow.
I’m better on my own,
Without you
I do not need your assistance.
I’ve fought alone this far,
I can make it the rest.
Your help is not wanted.
Get out.
