Walls

Self-Deception

You told me I was holding back
So I worked on dropping my walls
Then you recalled that as the weekend
When you thought about ending this all
Accused me of being closed off
Never honest with yourself
You ran when I opened up
And then let me blame myself
You were dreading time with me
Couldn’t love the open side of me
You told me it was what you wanted
But you actually wanted the fantasy
I thought I got it right this time
I was starting to let you in
Now you’re just another person
Who left me in the end

The End of The Circle

I’ve apologized for pushing
Though you should’ve stayed away
Because you chose this cyclical pattern 
Of the games that you play
Was this a one sided connection
Our memories are fleeting
And I should have known better
Because our history is repeating
You’re like hitting a bowling pin
That wobbles but never falls
What a disappointment
I never saw behind your walls
I’ve filled pages in metaphors
Wondering if my words were pretentious
Always dancing around the meaning
As I didn’t want us to be fictitious
I think maybe that’s the reason
That I didn’t want to leave
Because if I never confronted it
Then I could still believe
I thought love could be found in patience
Building tolerance for my disclosure
Dropping little things in moderation
You still left me without closure
I guess you never figured things out
Keeping me on a leash was never fair
You can run but what are you running from
Maybe you’re damaged beyond repair
