The Wall

Why do you care?

What's in it for you?

Why should I let you in?

What good will it do?

Don't pity me

Don't give me fake affection

Don't say you know what it's like

Don't you dare say it's okay

You don't know me

You shouldn't try

You should leave me alone

You can't help me

I won't let you in

I won't be hurt again

I will push you away

I will win

And yet, my wall is crumbling

And now I think I see

And maybe I won't fight as much

And I might stop to listen

Could it be that you do care?

Could it be that I was wrong?

Could it be that you can help?

Could it be true?

No! It's all wrong!

No! I'll rebuild my wall!

No! Just stay away!

No! You'll just hurt me!

This loneliness is frightening

This hurt is so deep

This emptiness is torture

This is how it must be

So, this is what happens when my roommate's girlfriend's grandfather dies and she goes home. He is stuck here at school just pining away cuz he thinks he's gonna lose her. It's a long story, but suffice it to say, he's a bitch to try to cheer up and sometimes he pisses me off when he is upset. Like this morning. So I wrote this to get my anger off my chest. R&R! Ja ne!
