Hardened

By OptimisticPessimist

As I tense by your presence,
It reminds me. 

I'm hardened.
Blocked.                     
                         By.
                                        You. 

This self injury
Bleeding crimson,
Scarlet.
Because of you,                                                       

Reminds me. 
I'm hardened.
Shut away.                           
                          By.                              
                                       You. 

You.
Harden me.
Titanium,
Diamonds-my caring and softness now
Just
As
Rare. 

Hardened.
By.
You.
