Desolation

A year ago, I lost my job and my best friend.
Ever since then I’ve kept my emotions on lockdown.
I’ve built my walls into a fortress.
I wasn’t expecting Mari to walk into my life.
And I never thought I would let someone in.
But with her, I had no choice.
She saw me.
The only one who ever has.
But I still hold back from letting her in completely.
And I know she is too.
Her secrets run deep… Deeper than mine.
And I know they will come crashing down.
Our pasts are ready to break us both.
Is she meant to be my salvation or am I forever destined for desolation?
