Reconstruction How could I do this to myself I let you break my heart I let my guard down just this once And you tore my world apart Now I have to start again and Build those walls anew But I know they'll be stronger now With no more breaking through I'll use the spirit that's been crushed Into the finest of all sand And mix it up with all these tears Safe and secure from any man And for the gate I'll use my will That's newly forged of steel I'll place a lock upon it To guard a soul that will not heal Along the top I'll swirl barbed wire All gleaming and razor sharp Inside the boundaries I'll dig a hole And bury my broken heart Upon the grave of this broken heart I will plant ten thousand thorns I'll water them every day with The rain from thunderstorms Yet each night as I try to sleep Inside this thorny grove I hear his voice out in the wind "Come back to me my love" From inside this self-imposed prison I can live my life alone I can look at him with two dead eyes And smile with lips of stone caroline 1999 all rights reserved ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Caroline....what can I say but WOW!!! This is absolutely magnificent!! What a fine piece of writing and one I can relate to very well I might add. ------------------ "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" ~Albert Camus |

Leave a key outside your gate, for the man meant for your fate. Forgive the man that broke your heart; you don't have to allow him a new start. Confusus say: Never close door too tight. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- ..."to thine own self be true." >William Shakespeare |

caroline, so many times youve seen me in this ame situation before. such a beautiful poem. but also many people have told me since ive been here, that building walls agianst love, isnt the way to live. but trust me, i know how good that security can feel but honestly, it never lasts long. no matter how hard you try, or how many have hurt you, you will love agian, sometimes to your disidvantage. but once agian a beatiful poem took striaght to my heart. i understnad completley! |

There is never enough time to catch all of the powerful poems, such as this one here. I missed it earlier, but am glad to see I found it before this site [gasp] gets overloaded! Very good job, Caroline, of expressing your anger. I'd like to see you do a continuation, where you go from here, and begin to take the bricks and mortar down for a new, true love. |

Thank you all for your responses. Sunshine...bless your heart I'm still building. I don't really see any "deconstruction" taking place any time soon. Safe within myself...heart upon a shelf. ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |
