And The Walls Came Tumbling Down...

This piece is the lovechild of Mr. Betrayal and Ms. Regret

Dear 'friends',

         You all have a part to play in my unhappiness. How does that make you feel ? I let you in and you let me down. That's perfidy right there. I can't remember what a 'straight from the belly' laugh feels like. I had a wall all around my heart, a wall resembling The Great Wall Of China. Said wall came tumbling down when I made the decision to care. To trust. But you see, that was my mistake.

         I should have never have had it broken down in the first place. Shame on me. It all started with a few chips here and there. And then there was hammering; hammering so hard, walls weren't only broken, but hearts punctured too. And so here I stand, in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by the debris which was once the foundation of the wall which guarded my heart. Alone, confused, full of regret...

        I should never have had these walls broken down. But hey, no use crying over spilled milk. I've had a trip to the land of pain and loneliness. I'm back now and guess what I brought back with me ? Its National Anthem. It goes like this : "BUILD THAT WALL BACK UP NOW ! Before your heart goes limp with lifelessness" I'd be a fool not to learn that song.

        And so I build. Little by little, I build. You visit the construction site of my heart and you're met with 'KEEP OFF; WALL UNDER CONSTRUCTION' inscribed across its gate. Yup. My heart is off limits. If you didn't get the chance to poke a hole in it, c'est la vie. Because now, should you try to poke, you'll be met with stone. That's what you left me with. A heart of stone. Point is, you'd have to saw through my heart to hurt my feelings again.

   

So all the best, you enemy called friendship. All the very best.
