Aloof?

Aloof? from Lost in a Quatrain by Adiela Akoo

Aloof?

Aloof you say?

I’m so sorry if I made you feel that way.

It’s really not my intention,

Though the reaction is of my own invention.

You see, long ago I built a wall,

A defence mechanism as I recall.

So for me to draw close, is still very hard,

After misplacing that important trust card.
