Jen H. Poet Free verse

Why Romeo?

Echoes in my ears
Walls all around
I closed myself off
From everything I knew

He won't be able to
Hurt me anymore
They won't be able to
Tear me down

I can be stronger 
Then they think
I can show them
I am not vulnerable

I can defend myself
I can be protected
I will not let anyone in
My walls, my new world

Especially him
He won't lie to me
Make me love him
And then rip me apart as if I were nothing

But then... I see his face again
And my walls melt away
And I realize that he
Will be able to control me forever

Because I love him
And there is nothing I can do
To stop this unknown force
So I try to close my eyes, and dream that he loves me back
