ruins

[Norman]

This ruin was once my solitude,

The stone of a tormented youth,

Forging the walls of hidden life,

Holding me secure within.

 

This ruin was once my world,

The stone of completed growth,

All I wished I held inside,

Discarding all I didn’t want.

 

This ruin is now my destiny,

Slowly I rebuild my walls,

Your love that once removed them,

Has now left me exposed.

 

This ruin will be my fortress,

Again it shall stand tall,

Each brick replaced reinforcing,

I am better off alone.

I like this. very nice theme, and the way you have it without rhyming, I think, serves it well. also, it makes me glad to know I'm not the only who does poetry without rhyming, which I can't do on demand, only when my mind is wandering.
