The Architect

Watch the architect as he builds these walls.
Keeping out everything that has a possible chance to hurt him.
Building this fortress he shields himself from all.
All because of a shattered heart, his only reason.
Brick by brick, memory by memory he isolates himself.
He doesn’t want any connection or relation.
He’s been hurt before but with his kingdom of stone, never again.
Seclusion is the only way he knows.
As he sits in the world he created, the tears start to fall.
Recollections of the friends he had and the ones he loved fill his thoughts.
He waited to long, the mortar has set.
He is accompanied by memories and his shadow.
Only through cracks does he see the life he could have.
The life he is never to live again.
Watch the architect as he builds these walls.
Watch as he tries to tear them down.
