Walls

She builds walls that 
She dares not define 
Jade, mortared with fine 
Sandy memories 
Not even the slightest crack 
Where the curious could peek through 
She builds walls that 
None dare to climb 
For the tear-slicked surface 
Leaves no room 
For even the strongest hearts 
To grasp, seems they may last 

Forever 

And the base is littered 
With eggshell-eyed corpses 
Where hopes and dreams 
Overrode common sense 
And a cool breeze carries 
That ocean taste over 
Their unmoving lips, every time 
She cries 

She builds walls and 
Dares you to try 
I would die again 
Just to remember 
What it felt like 
Falling.
