Hi Melania,

Posssibly have your title do more work for you:

Drawbridge as a title would allow you to start with "I can lure..."

I--Not a personal fan of these extremely short one word lines. It's a subjective choice. I think the lines work better with at least a subject and verb "I lure" would be better for me than "I"
can lure people--Don't know if you need the "can"
in--Prepositions are almost always incapable of holding down a line. You could do some rearrangement "in people"
and give
them

but I
always put up
a wall
when
they get
too close.
It's a nice conceit. I think it would be stronger if you tightened it up and chopped unneeded words.

Just thoughts.

Best,

Todd
