The Wall

A Heart was broken
Seems like a lifetime ago
Yet, only yesterday

The pain, once so deep, is dull now
Only an occasional flashback
Yet, a wall is still surrounding

Learning to live alone isn’t easy
Surrounded by people
Yet, lonely by choice

A look, a touch, a kiss
Sometimes a chip in the wall
Yet, it firmly stands

Always looking for a spark
Not sure where to look
Yet, afraid to ever close my eyes

So afraid to ever love again
Wanting so desperately to find real love
Yet, this heart may not be able to handle it again

The wall safely surrounds
Safe from ever being hurt
Yet, never allowing love

Will anyone crack the wall?
Will I let them?
Someone please hurry
Yet, take your time

I want real love
Mo more worthless evenings
No more casual relationships
Doesn’t anyone want to share the love behind the wall?

Do you have the strength to break down my barriers?
Is a chance at our love worth a try?

Someone please take the chance
To show me how to love again
There is a heart, a soul
Behind the wall… Somewhere

Help me find it
Can you?

Until Walls Come Down, Bridges Cannot be Built

Years spent reminiscing
Dreaming of what could have been
Wishing for what should have been
Yearning for what might be

A heart carefully guarded
By almost impermeable walls
Relationships gone, feelings hurt, vows discarded
Those walls of protection served no gain
Pain flowed through
Cutting like a knife

But the inevitable cry of "why"
Resounding in my mind and tearing at my heart
Was finally answered

God met me there, inside my pain
He gathered what was left of my soul
In a tight embrace
And filled it with His Spirit

My Heavenly Father gave me the strength
To continue against my own will
He gave me the hope to believe
He opened my heart to love again

My will for my life was not His
My pain was of my own doing
He shed light on my life, my ways, my heart

While I was enveloped by His arms
I received the message
He gently picked me up and touched my heart
"Until the walls come down, bridges cannot be built"
