Stronghold Before Me
i called out to him
like i had done… so many times before
only to get silence in response
he is distant with no interest in drawing close
protected by an impregnable fortress
that remains well guarded
inside the courtyard,
German Shepard’s with teeth like sharpened knives
are on watch…
your small forces send flying boulders to halt trespassers
electric fences that leave scorched earth jealous
wrap around the castle
like a parent hugging their child
on the first day of school
a hand dug moat
with a channel too small for a ship
and water too stagnant to sail a boat
lies before my feet
why you got to be so mean?
your using archers
to shot arrows from angles
that i can’t see
let your drawbridge down and face me
Thanks for reading! Love always ❤
