These Walls

-xxstarryeyedxx

I wrote this a couple of years ago and decided to post it.

Please review. It’ll make me happy.

XX

People talk too much.

And some talk too little.

I have the covers over my head.

I’m lying on my bed.

Wishing things would go away.

Under here

Everything just fades away.

Time goes on and on

And lies tear me apart.

The cover comes off

And these walls have so much to say.

These walls have so many lies

And the walls keep them from me

I look at these walls.

These walls have the secrets of the time I cried

Or watched as my heart broke.

If you look at these walls

They tell a story of a girl.

The story of a girl fading away.

So, I put the cover back over my head

Under here . . .

Lies don’t seem so real.

Lies can’t break me.

Under Here . . .

Everything is familiar.

Time goes on and on

And lies tear me apart

The cover comes off

And these walls

Have so much to say

These walls have secrets

And they keep them from everyone.

If you look at these walls

You will see pictures of a girl who’s no longer here.

A girl who can no longer bear it.

A girl who sees her world crumbling

But these walls protect me

From what I don’t want to see

They protect me from the world that tears me apart

And they keep all the things that world could tear apart

From me.

These walls can’t talk

But I can.

So listen carefully,

And you will see

I have something to say.

And that this will tear you apart.

‘Cause this girl that you see is not who you think she is.

But these walls will protect you from her.

So don’t worry.

These walls are, oh, so real.

So don’t pay attention to fine print.

These walls will protect her from you.
