Unknowing to me did this process begin
Tearing away years of tenderness
Unveiling a mast of unnatural feelings
All new, all unwanted
Impending still against all efforts to shun it
Crept in like a lion
Engulfing
Enrapturing
Taking over a place once saved for prayers of Thankfulness
Frozen stiff
A bitter sting bites your flesh as it is welded to my own
There is no mending
The icy walls which shield my heart

Hi, I enjoyed this poem, and was intrigued by the last two lines: "There is no mending the icy wall which shield my heart".  
Interesting!

Hey u,
great job Sherry but I know your heart isn`t cold.
Quite the opposite  
You are a very warm,caring,sweet person and anyone that know`s you would say the same.
I think you have once again done a great job
with your writing.
Keep up the Good work U.

Inriguing the style you write with
But a heart can be warmed up again
all it takes is love
Thank you

 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Seems to be familar.  I know this feeling all too well.  Very well done.
