Out of Reach

by emma-*gemini* - Not entered

the whole time i thought i was holding you
you were actually just out of reach
i never was touching you

you never held me either
i was just out of your grasp too
you couldn't penetrate me

these walls i put up
no reason for them
except to protect my untouched heart

these walls are what hurt me
not you, or what you do
just me, and what i can't or won't do

all that's in my heart stays there
never to be heard by another
or felt by the people in it

and all that's outside
will never come in
never be truly known by me

Reason for writing:

    i had a moment of realization about my personality and the way i care for people
