You Built This Wall

You built this wall, 
Between you and I. 
Constructed it all,
With every white lie. 

Reflections of guilt,
You seemed to care. 
My heart was then spilt,
Until it went bare. 

The holes in my mind,
Were dug with deception. 
You robbed my soul blind,
Im left no direction. 

Im hung out to dry,
Self-soaked in my tears. 
A fervorous try,
Was tainted by sneers. 

You stomped on my back,
And broke every bone. 
A full-on attack,
No mercy was shown. 

You built this wall,
Between you and I. 
So don't ever call,
I've said my goodbye. 

-Yours Truly
