exposed
she exposed me
to the deepest core of my cowardice
she figured out
the puzzle of what i am

she said
you've built a wall
you don't let people in
too many people you've lost

well what's the point
of letting someone in
because then i would have
to take a walk with
disappointment
again

i would feel betrayed and lost
i would feel that
it's something i've done
to make them fade away

jump in a puddle of guilt
naked, stripped of pride
in despair
no place to hide

when she figured out
my darkest fear
i shivered
trying to distract myself
from the chaos
of my armed soul

trying to take the walls down
but i've failed,
yet again
