Shut Out

I try to listen to your words, find the meaning in your ruse, I speak in poetry, you speak in riddles, leaving me without a single clue. Your anger strikes against me, your words a fist against my flesh, and I am somehow still standing, a question mark imprinted on my chest. Your anger rises quickly, I don't listen to what you say, truthfully I don't understand, you scream for me to go away. I am holding my heart out darling, you push me behind your walls, now I'm staring at the steel, wondering how to make them fall.
