"Because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it." -John Green

I thought I had built a wall
strong enough to protect me
from your abuse
from your lies
from you

 

But you tore it down
as if crumpling it with your bare hands
leaving my heart defenseless
against your love
