Won't You?

Won't You?

A Poem by Elijah J.
"

"Give me a chance," she wrote. "Won't you?"

"

"Give me a chance," she wrote, 

And the words rolled across the page like dripping blood.

"Won't you?
You've built this brick wall around your fortress,
And these curtains over your eyes,
And this blackout screen across your heart.
 
You thrash out at the wind
Which howls through the cracks in your wall,
Which billows your curtain,
And which tears at your screen,
 
But there is no destroying this wind;
That which has no beginning and no end can't be stopped.
The wind isn't the evil;
The evil is that screen, wall, and curtain."
 
"Let me in," she wrote. "Won't you?
I do no harm; I'm not as cold as I sound.
I won't hurt you.
(Please don't hurt me.)"

Author's Note

Elijah J.
I actually wrote this out as a paragraph, so the layout of this in verse has no pattern and really doesn't make much sense. I did it this way so it'd be easier to read. Should I keep it like this, or revert it back to paragraph form?

It don't think really matters - the words have more importance.
I really liked this.
