Poetry: Romantic pain

Stone By Stone

I have a wall you cannot see
Because it's deep inside of me
it blocks my heart on every side
And helps emotions there to hide.
You can't reach in,
I can't reach out,
You wonder what it's all about.
The wall I built that you can't see
Results from insecurity.
Each time my tender heart was hurt
The scars within grew worse and worse.
So stone by stone,
I built a wall,


That's now so thick it will not fall.
Please understand that it's not you
Continue trying to break through.
I want so much to show my self
And lovwe from you will really help.
So bit by bit,
Chip at my wall,
Till stone by stone it starts to fall.
I know the process will be slow
It's never easy to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained,
Upon one's heart from years of pain.
I'm so afraid
To let you in;
I know I might get hurt again.
I try so hard to break the wall,
But seem to get nowhere at all.
For stone upon each stone I've stacked,
And left between them not a crack.
The only way to make it fall,
Is imperfections in the wall.
I did the best I could to build
A perfect wall, but there are still
A few flaws which are the key
To breaking threw the wall to me.
Please use each flaw
To cause a crack
To knock a stone off the stack.
For just as stone by stone it was laid
With every hurt and every pain,
So stone by stone the wall will break
As love replaces every ache.
Please be the one
Who cares enough
To find the flaws, no matter what.

    My heart is full of tears.
    Without you, days are years.
    Why am I telling you this?
    For some reason,
    I thought you'd care.

    Out of the darkness came a dream

    From the fire came a sword

    With in the sword came the poison

    Out of the poison grew life

    I sit on the grass,

    Knowing the sun will not last.

    I sit seeing a beautiful view of the lake,
