The Fortress

Funny is she that guards her heart
With sharpened tongue and witty spark
A wall of words protects her soul
From those who have another goal
The stones were laid far in the past
When first true love, it did not last
She hides within these solid walls
To help prevent another fall
And till the day she finds it safe
To exit from this sturdy place
She'll hide behind facetious smiles
And the world she will beguile
