The Walls

There's a cozy place inside my head
where my thoughts for you reside
In the cracks between my walls 

There's a defect in my head
the walls that keep me safe- safe from harm
They've withered to the pith

it has been days now
The doors seize- frozen still
slightly ajar

I hate you for it
I want you to need me
The way that I need you
