Love and Other Fuckups

Fortification

I push people away.

I've done it since I was a kid.

If someone gets too close,

I get further away.

It's a method to protect myself from getting hurt,

A defense I installed early in life.

But then you showed up,

And you slowly tore down my walls.

And when I pushed you away,

You always pulled me back.

And when I finally let you in completely,

You left.

I push people away,

To protect myself from people like you.
