walls, lock and key
we build these walls,
strong, cold, hard, unwelcoming,
around us.
we build these walls around us,
to keep them out,
to keep us in.
we build these walls to keep us in,
because we can,
because we're so tired.
We build these walls because we're so tired,
they pick up and leave,
and the pieces cut when we linger to pick them up.
