Viola Grey - Behind This Wall

Built there to protect...not to repel...
but why on earth would I let you
behind this wall.

The air is sweet with self secure
and honey drips from honest lips,
memories stored in dusty files
bear no weight upon these dreams.

So...why would I allow you to invade
what I'm sure you would crave
if I was to permit you
behind this wall.
