and I spent months
tearing down your walls
only to be broken
by your nothingness

I know now why
your walls were
immaculate
because you loved me

loved me enough
to let me go
even if
it destroyed you

and left you
with nothing
except your walls
built with love

held together by
your need to keep me
out and away
from what we created

nothingness
deep within you
created by love
we could never share

and I spent months
tearing down your walls
only to find
nothing within
myself.

inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear

We built walls and obstacles throughout the love entanglements in order to hide away certain past histories. Sometimes these walls are overloaded to such an extent the crash and burn.

Damn, "be careful what you wish for" comes to mind in reading this.  As a profound erecter of walls I have to say, they are usually built for a reason; though you certainly aren't the first to find this out the hard way.  When walls come down, they tend to do a lot of damage, and usually much more to the would-be rescuer than to the one who built them in the first place.  This because expectation lies only on one side.

Wow! Powerful, deep and moving write, my friend. Never thought it could possibly happen to me ... but I know your Nothing well today, if just a little bit different than you.

Much enjoyed.
