The Tower I built a tower around myself stone by stone brick by brick one by one I watched as they stood around me beckoning me out of my protective circle I told them they could lean on me that I would be their rock as I took my own rocks to block out the world to protect them all from myself to protect myself from all of them and still they called to me until the walls loomed over me blocked out the blinding light their counterfeit smiles beaming still until I could see nothing but stones and bricks but still I could hear them their voices muffled and slurred through the heavy barricade their message faded as the walls grew taller until they were nothing but whispers in my darkened world and still the walls grew taller until I couldn’t see the tops until all signs of the outside world was removed and I was left alone ~*~ I had a fit kicking and screaming punching and crying driving holes through my heavy barricade I heard voices unfamiliar and disorienting after all this time I saw light blinding piercing light that burned my eyes made me cry out for my solemn sanctuary I felt the world quake with the weight of the weakened stone I crouched down back pushed firmly against the cold stones ran my nails across my pale skin alabaster and soft from lack of light and wind and rain I cried until my tears dried on my cheeks leaving my skin dry cracked abused and tortured as if in slow motion I watched as my tower crumbled burying me beneath it’s ruins the ruins of my life leaving bruises and welts across my once pristine skin ~*~ my body cried out for help for anything to stop the pain as the stones and bricks fell upon me one by one I felt them fall landing across my back and shoulders my skull my sides my legs and arms and stomach I lay pinned under the rubble praying for aid praying that someone would save me from my fate from the pain I had brought upon myself ~*~ I cried and cried I begged and pleaded one by one I removed the stones and bricks from my broken body ~*~ slowly my body recovered slowly I rebuilt my tower one by one stone by stone brick by brick I watched as the world disappeared behind rock again but there was no one there to block no smiles false or true no beckoning arms waiting to gather me in their malicious warmth preparing for my one moment of trust when they would thrust a poisoned dagger between my quivering shoulder blades they had all left me one by one smile by smile face by face and I am alone my tower and me ~*~ |
