Reconstruction

It’s lonely now; its shadow seems so dark.

Before, I didn’t know the light beyond,

Until, with you, I foolishly destroyed

The wall I’d built between the world and me

The time we spent together had increased;

I thought that we were growing closer too.

Small things began reminding me of you,

Yet I remain still distant from your mind.

It’s not your fault, you never wanted me

To wreck my wall, to cross through it to you.

I broke myself, too, crashing through that wall

Still unaware, you haven’t noticed yet

Me sitting broken, wreckage all around,

Alone, I start to reconstruct my wall.
