Barriers
February 22, 2018
I closed a door today, likely to be under lock and key. Now another can come in, However,
Not for me, that iron gate is now shut, closely watched by guard and lock. No heart may enter the stone fortress, and no plague can leave its cold walls. I've closed its doors to you and now you lay siege. You not willing to enter, and I refuse to leave. Another dog now runs at your feet, willing to be your slave. I am split and torn. All that I can do is watch from a spire in shame. I've shut my heart to you and I regret it.
