Hiding

T. L. Cooper

It can't fall
Needing protection
Hiding from affection
Love is not accepted
Always rejected
Unable to give
Unwilling to receive
Hiding from all

Allowing no gain
There's no trust
Only distrust
Making the wall strong
Seeing all that's wrong
Being alone
Allowing entrance to none
Unwilling to try
Refusing to cry
The wall grows
No one knows
Hiding behind this wall
What if it falls??
