Everything I Didn't Say

The Wall

I don't wanna open up,
Not to anyone, ever again.
So why do you try?
Why are you trying to bring my walls down?
It's like you sit there with a chisel,
And slowly but surely,
Brick by brick,
Tear down my wall.
I know why you chose the chisel.
Most people use the sledgehammer,
Try and knock it all down in one go,
But you and I both know that's not how it works.
Yes, your way takes longer,
But it's not the speed,
It's the amount of trust.
So you let me build my trust,
And when the time is right maybe I will open up to you,
But until then, I'm sorry.
