Four Walls
In my head there stand four walls,
Four, until one decided to fall.
It fell and crushed my innocent heart,
Now what was left is torn apart.
So three walls now stand in my damaged head,
Then another one fell and then I bled,
For, I never would have saw it coming,
From thoughts in my mind that kept on running.
So two walls standing face to face,
Nothing else to fill the space.
But now I've learned about these walls,
They were never strong at all.
Just a figure inside my head,
A pile of bricks and a body that's dead.
