Behind These Walls

The walls that keep out the broken hearts and all of
The tears. I am safe where no one can ever hurt me
Again. I feel protected from this bad and cruel world.

Walls are shutting out undesired and unwanted love.
What do I know about it? A craving I wish I could see
Turn into something more. Nights when we are curled

Up on the couch because going out is way too draining.
Days when the rays of sunshine are streaming through
The cracks and holes of the bricks used to build my wall.

When you are watching my smile even when it is raining
Outside and I am sitting with the pain. That is when you
Make me want to stop building higher and realize that all

There is behind the walls lies insecurity. There is a girl
Who has been hurt so much and trusted too much. Some
People took advantage of the goodness in her heart and

Her forgiveness. Someone who lost her sparking pearl
Along the way while looking among the rocks and gun
Powder for something she already had. With her I stand.
