steel walls

empty parking lot
your heart's an empty parking lot
gray and worn all over
cold, and you
charge admission
to get in.
when cars do enter
they're decrepit and brown
with smashed out windows
cigarette burns and
cappuccino stains on the seats.
stray birds land
and pick at spilled french fries.
your life is a series
of reinforced steel walls
once i found a hole
to peer through
until you patched that
up, too.
you're a barbed wire
playground
surrounded by fencing
but worth the pain
of climbing in.
your heart is a maze
how will i ever find the exit?
so many passages
it's complicated.
you've built your own castle
you are your own queen
and if i were to intrude
get past the guards
(sure, it'd be hard
but anything for you)
would you charge me a fee?
how much would it cost
to re-learn your favorite color?
re-trace forgotten steps?
any amount, my love.
i have a bank account.

I think I'd avoid that fence. Good write, through some painful imagery. Welcome to Passions.
