Inspired by “tryin’ to talk to a wall, but you can never tear it down for me..” -Halsey “now or never”
Dating you was like
trying to romance the Great Wall,
stone edges biting
into my soft palms,
twilight under the moon spent
whispering sweet nothings
into aerated pockets
of brick, breaths of dust,
swearing with a midnight kiss
I can fill your spaces
if you’d just let me in
but left whimpering from
a bloody mouth,
sagging against your
impenetrable blockade
sighing as I smear the blood
from my wounds into the rock
and finally limp away.
