I, broke me down.
Within the evening haze,
words are said, I walk away.
Loving you means everything,
but too close, mistakes are made.
Cement and bricks, I build the walls,
to keep away the ongoing pain.
For I been where no one has,
on my knees I lost it all.
My eyes shine bright,
when you’re near.
I, broke me down.
Days of loving, pure bliss,
passion’s growing strong within.
Promises you made, a marriage you ask
on your knees you came forward, will you?
Within a instant, tears flow faster then ever,
my heart screams yes, but my mind says no.
Can he make me happy, or cause me pain,
strip me like the ex’s, I can’t let him in.
Verbal attacks, I try to defend them,
why can’t they see what they done.
Years ago are now long gone,
why do I still push away?
I, broke me down.
If I stay hidden far away,
will anyone break the barrier for me?
Who will stand firm and rise up above the wall,
to surrender themselves to a lady who needs more?
All that’s needed is a true heart, something I longed for,
yet once you get close, I will keep you away you see…
Are we strong enough, to break the stone quarry?
I hope so, cause even though I cause a fight…
I do love you and know you do,but I'm scared
I just have to protect the woman I am now.
Brittle loving will soon strengthen
As the sledge swings fast…
The walls came down…
Author notes
- Some people put up walls… not to keep others out… but to see who cares enough… to knock them down…
This is exactly what I do...Especially when the ones who love me, I get scared and feel in the end they will to be like the others and leave me broken, hurt,in some cases battered and worn...So when they get so close, a wall goes up, my head fills with blinding thoughts and I hide...there are only a couple who have hurdled the wall and came to me no matter the storm. And I love them unconditionally they know who they are.

I loved this and the form you used was really outstanding.
I know how you feel, because I do the same thing..I am trying harder now to change regarding the walls..but it does take time.
Beautifully written.

If you need protecting don't build walls, where stilettos and stamp hard!!! I love the shape your poetry is different to the others I am reading.
