I could have been content<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hidden here behind these walls<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That lie in ruins at my feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Structures built to separate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And keep away the world at large<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walls you felt some foolish need<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To oh so casually destroy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And flood me with reminders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of what I miss when locked behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You just had to chip away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To dig yourself a little hole<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So deep and dark inside my soul<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then walk away and leave it empty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s never been this hard before<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To recover from the damage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You were supposed to be a friend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But all your brought with you was pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I can\u2019t seem to turn away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From everything I can\u2019t hold onto<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All I thought I\u2019d do without<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t bear to any longer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You found a way to steal my strength<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruin my splendid isolation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when I reached out for your help<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You pulled away and let me fall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knocked down all that kept me standing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as I lay here in the wreckage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somewhere out there from whence you came<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You feed off what you stole from me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I strain for that connection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That you gave then took away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I gaze upon this fallen armor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somehow I know it\u2019s not enough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You found a way past it too swiftly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what it saved me from so long<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is what I\u2019ve been seeking the whole time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now I\u2019m not so sure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
