Walls

Walls of steel arise from nowhere as suddenly I am cut off from my life line. The emotional abandon and intensity that has been the catalyst for our love now, somehow, replaced by distance. As if fearing capriciousness and awaiting the next vagary I hide inside of myself. Inside of my room. Inside of this writing which, undoubtedly, is headed for solitude. Another silent expression of me. Quiet screams that you will never hear. At least not until the danger is gone, the mood is settled and I am able to sit somewhat comfortably and ponder the peculiarities of myself, my feelings and of life.

For now to scared to even move. Delicate balance. Desperate need. Please fight through this anger, look at me. If you are going to leave, at least me. Not someone or something else. Be open now, this is your prejudice and your time to confront your views and stereotypes. I am still learning about you, still trying to understand. I beg you to let me. Don’t push me away. I close up to fast.

Wow, off the track or what? I am at a loss for the words - but the answer is now apparent. A believe that is mine and is not yours and would never have been ours, has now become “his” and, unable to explore it, we become you and I. The closed somehow becoming the open. More surprising though, the open is very, very closed.

Yes, this wall rises. It is not a wall of steel though. It is a wall of blood and all that blood supplies. A wall of nerves and tissues, a wall of the soul, a wall of stubbornness and of insecurity. Sum total.... A wall of survival, preservation. A wall never to be broken from the outside, only from within.

Only from within.

Anger!
