Burning & Building

build more walls than bridges

hide from the world, the family

each hand

strangles the love out of me



feeling safe behind walls

empty of love

exempt from pain



there are walls everywhere

a crime to tear

years spent building

brick by brick



the more I build, the more you burn…



I’d see them crumble

how you’d hide.

how will you strangle?  



have we learnt to behave.

just to please  

Yet to learn

not to burn…
