Your words were full of thorns, yet you say mine were worse. 

I guess it is true that truth can hurt. 

Tell me you are now building higher walls to keep

Me out when I have been on my knees for weeks.

Remember when I missed your call and said that I was busy?

I was digging a ditch to drown my inhibitions.

I was making a moat to maim our friendship

Although you caused more permanent damage.

I listened to my phone ring without bothering to pick it up

Because I was busy building my bridge.

I will draw it in to prevent you from crossing

My latest line of defense.

I would rather watch you slip and fall in

Than reach out and attempt to close the distance between us.

The space that you created with the abandonment of your allegiance

And the rebuttal to your initial response in your final message.

Stop scolding me like you would a child when

You are the one who is so selfish.

Do not tell me I hurt you when this could have been avoided

Had you had some actual awareness.
