The Castle

I set a thickening brick wall, a danger-filled moat, and a locked drawbridge around the castle of my heart. Even still, I did not sit back and relax. Armed guards and faithful soldiers kept their patrols as a privilege of duty. And I, in my locked tower, had a watchful eye ever on the door.

It happened slowly; this keeping you at bay. In my silence, the self-imposed prison screamed at me how I missed you. Some dark and secret place inside myself, perhaps only rumored to exist, whispered wonderingly if there was a magic potion that might melt the walls and bring you back.

The castle fell apart, trembling from the inside as I learned the secret you had been shouting all along. I had been waiting to feel your loving presence in my life. Only now do I learn that all I ever had to do was ask.

    This is awesome. The idea of guarding your heart from someone may be used alot, but your descriptions and personality make it mean alot more.
    Great use of words.
