I built walls against you
soaring into the sky
like a tower made of stone
and I sat on it’s merlon
hiding from the world
and I cut my hair short
wrecking every possible exit
but in the end I jumped down
and broke myself into pieces –
it was the only way to reach you
bones are breaking, like hearts
and I couldn’t wait for my hair to grow
and I couldn’t wait for you to climb
and I missed you
