I built my wall with trembling hands
hoping they'd notice, a shift in sands.
Brushed off by silence, dark and unseen
In shadows, my efforts lingered as if never been.
Love withheld became my chain,
Binding me tightly in growing pain.
Each plea met with air felt unaware
Put a dagger in me like their love a snare.
Now I fade in my bane
like an ache made me insane.
