My defenses as fragile as glass crack from a look; break from a smile.

Don't throw stones within my house of glass,
There's more fragility than you'd expect.
Already, a thin line spreads into a crack.
Refrain from shattering my illusion,
Causing it to break.

Every house I've built, you penetrated,
Completely destroying everything.
You once told me,
A house is just a structure,
Without love it'll never be a home.

My heart heavy with lead intentions, working tirelessly,
Building my walls again.
One smile,
They tumble back down.
And I'm left defenseless,
Drowning in your storm.
