I thought I'd built a sturdy wall

and that I was done with this

once and for all

•

I put up a mighty defense

my friends are archers

for what he didn't recompense

•

here I thought I'd done good

he was gone and life carried on

exactly as it should

•

when suddenly, out of the blue

a crack appeared

and nobody knew

•

I don't know; I really can't say

why my walls came crashing down

one fateful Thursday

•

unshed tears, right on the brim

as suddenly I realized

how much I miss him

•

I wouldn't say it out loud

for it's a shame to admit

that I couldn't keep up the shroud

•

but is it really so bad?

to think on the memories

and the good times we had?

•

not when it brings pain anew

when it sends my emotions downward

and my thoughts askew

•

it's time to rebuild my wall

that crashed so suddenly

it's time to reforget it all.
