I saw who you were inside
then you changed
you built a wall around your heart
one I can't break through
I tried time and rime again
to reach out to you
but you just pushed me away
so I've built a wall to keep you

out
and now no one can get in!!

One of my best friends drew a picture titled the wall and it gave me the idea for this poem. It has become one of my favorites and I hope that every one likes it!
