Fallen Shelter MAG
I built a shelter around my heart after you left me.
Each day that went by without you
Put another layer around my heart.
When I thought my shelter was impenetrable
You called me on the phone to say hi.
The layers that took five months to build
Fell from around my heart in five minutes.
Now, you call me often, for a friend to talk to
when you get lonely.
Now my heart is bare and exposed.
And I am reminded of
How hard it was to forget you,
And when you leave me again,
When you stop calling me,
I'll have to stop loving you
Again.
