The Wall

building a wall to deal with the pain of a breakup.

Almost two years I have spent trying to live without a part of me that can never be replaced,

a part that pumps the blood required me to face

each day

with the clarity of reality

the you the burns deep inside of me-

I laid the bricks one by one

each hiding an emotion I was unable to deal with 

the heavier they came the faster I needed to run-

I built a wall so tall I buried it all deep within, 

wore a mask to hide the pain no one could get in...

carved a heart of stone-I never felt more alone

the thought of feeling once again haunted my dreams...

inside I could feel you scream, so loud for me to hear

I desperately wanted you near

to reach out and hold you and push away all my fear

now the walls are tumbling down

and I will do everything in my power to fix my broken heart and glue it back together

smash that wall to the ground and open up to your love once again

just tell me when, anytime, anywhere

for you I'll face it all 

hold my hand, break this fall

I promise to give you it all...
