Before I met you
I didn't know how to smile
Before I met you
I didn't know how to have fun
Before I met you
I didn't know what love was?
You made me do something....
Something I did before
I allowed you to break down the walls....
The walls that blocked my heart
You said to me
"I'll protect your heart now"
I took a chance
And trusted
I took a chance
For my heart to see beyond the wall
I took a chance
And said "I love you"
But then I realised
How stupid you were
You hurt me the worst
Because your words were never true
That hurt me so bad
And now I protect myself from all
So I slowly rebuilt my wall

Ok I am in this place right now. The exact same place as this regret. Only thing is that I could never hate the man that did this to me no instead I still love him and always will but that is my cross to bare. You did a good job on this piece Thank you for sharing such a personal write.

I think this is very good. So many people go throuh that phase of breaking down a wall of self-protection, and then find that the only thing they've left to break down is themselves as the one they thought would build a loving wall around them walks away laughing.
Very good write. Thanks For Entering.
