you used to push and shove
against the thick walls
surrounding my heart
and you smiled in triumph
when they finally gave way
and fell apart
but then you realized
that what was behind them
wasn't what you were expecting at all...
behind the walls was a child
who was scared and alone
and i saw your eyes widden in fear
as you gazed into my soul

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

Oh, wow. Deep.

I liked the way you used the idea of the walls.... it made the poem very clear in my mind's eye.

Splendidly done.

Oooooh I like...You warn them not to get too close, then it happens, and they're afraid of what they see...Quite a well-expressed piece.
