It's different now
Talking to you
You talk but you don't listen
You don't notice the wall I rebuilt
I no longer tell you about me
I treat you like I've treated hurting strangers
Supportive and empathetic, but still
Cold and distant about myself
It's sad really
I miss our warmth
But
I cannot let down that wall like I did before
If I do, I'll be vulnerable again
And you aren't at a place
Where you can defend me from attack
You're still trying to defeat the enemy in your walls
