Last Defense

A brick wall built to fortify my heart and my soul. Something that can be jailed and locked away for only eyes filled with tears could see me. 

My 

   Last 

        Defense 

A brick 

 for all the times you told me about how you don't want to hurt or leave me.

A brick

 for how you tell me that I am different. That there is something about me that pulls you back. 

A brick

 for the kisses you gave me that had no love behind them just lust.

A brick

 for the times you apologized. Regret for leaving me behind.

A brick

 to show how I am nothing but a girl, a girl who was an anchor and invisible. 

A brick

 for every time you have stabbed me and watched the strength bleed from my heart. 

A brick 

 for every time I believed it to be love, wanted it to be. 

A brick

 for every time someone else caught your eye. Every time you left me.

A brick 

 for every painful, tearful time I moved on. 

Now you are back...should I add another brick?

Very powerful, I can easily visualize each brick that is agonizingly added to the wall. It sounds like this person does not deserve to break through your brick wall, so keep it strong. However, make sure to keep a back door available for someone who is worthy. Keep writing!
