Poems from Cassidy Paredes

CASTLE WALLS

by

I built these walls up for a reason.

I built them for you—for only you—

Because you’re the only one who could ever get inside.

You are the only one who could sneak right past the guards.

You are the only one who could make the kingdom of my heart fall.

And it has…

Fallen to rubble, just like the way you left me—

Wounded, broken, and ruined.

Ded. Your broken gates that, despite the condition, can be rebuilt

ELEMENTAL SORROW

IT’S OKAY

HILLS AND VALLEYS

YOUR LOVE
