Many years ago I built this wall
Protecting myself from the pain of the fall
Chasing away the love that others gave
Resting silently in my darkened cave
Little did I realize that one day ...
He would come along with so much to say
Taking my hand and holding me tight
Showing me his love in so many ways
Yet my heart was protected
I had created so many fears
I wanted to love him
But shed only tears
Break down this wall
And let him in
I cant let him go
His love I must win
Why did I build it?
So strong and so bold
Shatter it to pieces
For I am lonely and cold
Just let me touch him
To feel love so true
I never had that feeling
My skys were never blue
Give me just a second
To let him love me
Before the wall goes back up
And be alone for an eternity

That "darn" wall gets in the way so often!     But this time I am fighting it.    This time,  I shall touch the love and hold it close to my heart!


No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry

"Give me just a second
To let him love me
Before the wall goes back up
And be alone for an eternity" <-- love these lines.

We are often damned by those walls we build, thinking they are for protecting us and rarely realizing that they are imprisoning us instead. Fight it, and you will see that though there is pain aplenty, there is also love and we always need to remember to grasp each and every moment of love we can and hold on to it dearly. And then, only then, we can survive the pain.


With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..

Mags...You just keep getting better and better.  Great piece here.  Exceptionally well said.  I know about those walls...and dragonpoe is right....they become your prison.  Enjoyed this very much.  Hardrock

DkW,

I concur with the above!  .. Those walls are hell to tear down. I truly hope that they crumble for you now. Great job!

Yes, that is the one problem that most humans face.  We learn too much from experience, and overcompensate too often.  I hope you are successful in fighting the wall and shattering it.  But may I suggest simply relaxing and letting it go...  That may be difficult at first, but it can also be effective.
