Poem: Walls

You have many walls to
Protect yourself
To hide what truly lies beneath
To use as a fortress

I’m tired, I know longer wish
To play this game
For every wall I knock down you erect another
Do you really want to let someone in or is this a lie

I have no more time for this chase
I have let my walls down and let you see inside
You cannot do the same even after you say you trust me
The fight is no longer in me, I must move on

But I will rebuild my walls
Founded in hurt, built with hate, reinforced with sadness
And painted with anger
No, you shall never pass through these walls again

Never again will you peer into my soul
Never again will you feel the love I have
For I must move on, as painful as it maybe
And my soul must close it’s self to you

I tried, but it takes more than I have to offer
I have nothing left to give, nothing more to fight with
So the walls have come back up
I will never let you pass, try as you might



Many years of pain have made me a master of protecting myself
I will show you what it truly means to have a wall around your soul
Your sword will dull before you pass, you will weaken with every blow

I can live with the pain, can you live with the regret of passing
Passing on the one sure thing you could ever hope for?
Time will tell, but time will still not wear down my walls
Time is something you no longer have, nor me
