Vulnerable Hearts.

"Vulnerable Hearts."

You claim to value friendship,
Yet turned your back to mine.
In all that time, did you think on me?
Was there a day where you still cared?

You’re lying, to me but worse to yourself.
A voice drenched with doubt,
Words drown in hesitation.
You are unsure, perhaps afraid.

What is it that worries your mind, my friend?
That occupies your thoughts to the distance of all others.
You ink signs of strength in your skin like spells
A wary soul in a decorative house of safety.

The walls are lowered, our hearts laid bare,
We lose self-control, desire becomes wilful.
Fearful of such power we retreat,
To the shadow of notice of another.
