Let me out

You lied.  

You told me you weren't made like others. You told me you needed your walls. That it kept you safe. That it was best for everyone. I liked that.

But it was a lie. Did you not know that you could let people in? Or was it a lie that you felt safe telling yourself?

Did you not understand that sometimes, despite our pasts, we can't predict our path. We can't always protect our hearts. We can't always shield others from our pain.

Were you that jaded that it blinded you from seeing what was happening? 


That not only can you let someone in, that you did. I know you put your back against the wall and assured yourself that no one could get in...

But somehow, I slipped in.  

But why did you allow me? I didn't ask to. Why did you do it? Why did you do this to me?  

Because I don't think the problem isn't that you won't let people in. The problem is that once in, they can't get out.

And now you're hurting the one you love... You should never have allowed. I liked your walls. They made me feel safe... But now I feel trapped inside and I just don't know.
