Firewall

There are some fire walls

Ones built up

With strong materials

Fortified

By time

And tested

By lovers like you

There are some fire walls

Ones that

Come from not having

A mother

Not knowing where you

Belong

If you are just another regret

I said the last time

Was the last time

That.. that time

Was the worse time

I took a vow

Of loving myself first

And build the fire wall

It won’t be penetrated

By persistence

Or good conversation

It won’t be knocked down

By compliments

It’s strong

Tough like

Me

I build a firewall

I’ve taken to many

Hits

To not be careful

I can’t afford

To be careless with my tender

Heart

I built a firewall

And by cover of night

I secretly wish you would

Knock it down 

that you would extinguish 

any trace of resistance

any hint of doubt 

that the firewall 

would become

our love fireproofed
