Fortresses and Facades

Fortresses Crumble...
Unexpectedly, Purposely...

Facades lift...
Truly, Honestly...

Comfort and warmth of the fortress,
Feel like an illusion, non existent, maybe never existent...

Facades feel more like curtains than masks...
The light let the silhouettes show, always...

Unfortunately, only the silhouettes,
And not the true colours...

The strength and magnanimity of the fortress,
A facade you saw only the silhouettes of...

Maybe if you had only tried,
Once, to rid the curtain...
Once, to help me break my fortress...
Maybe you would have freed yourself...
Maybe you would have freed me...

Maybe you would have looked into my fortress,
And realized its my prison, not my guard...
Maybe you would have let open my prison...
So I could unlock yours..

But fortresses crumbled...
Unexpectedly and purposely...

The rubble fell..
It hurt
And Bled...

But I'm trying to unlock you anyways...
Hoping you will help me heal my wounds...

You shy away,
You don't believe me...
You have never seen me Dark and Bleeding...
Only Strong and Magnanimous

But here I am...
More damaged than you bargained for...
Hurting more with every pebble you ever threw my way...

And I know I will heal myself...
And I know the hurt will stop...

But in this moment, now....
I need you to accept me, take me and love me...
For who I am...
For bleeding...
For Hurting....

Because Fortresses Crumbled purposely....
And Facades lifted...Honestly...Truely...
